A speck in the horizon..
I was in Sindhudurg on the Konkan coastline last week when the dramatic skies above the Arabian Sea changed from a bright blue to gold to rosy pink to grey and black. We spent every day at a different beach, but this picture of the Tarkarli Beach stands out in my mind. It may not enter a picture post card contest, but it gave me a perspective of life..how insignificant and small we human beings are when compared to nature. It reminds of the last two lines of Keats'(my all time fav poet) sonnet, ” When I have fears that I may cease to be ” ..
…then on the Shore
Of the wide world I stand alone and think
Till Love and Fame to Nothingness do sink..”
What does it remind you of ?

This is beautiful!
The people are so small between the sand and the sky. Flash gave some good light to the foreground.
It is a beautiful photo and Keats is a perfect quote.
It sort of reminds me of the Arctic slope tundra.

Such an amazing picture!! It reminds me of where else I could be right now…
Grogeous.I have never seen a sky like that.S
I really like the soft pastel sky and the pinky clouds above the Arabian Sea!!! WOW…have a great weekend and happy skywatching.
Oh so beautiful! This reminds me to keep on saving for the much longed for India trip.
Great dramatic shot!
far away the day sinks ,
tomorrow shall be another,
Just wish I knew what it brings 🙂
Beautiful photo ..and I think that quote from Keat’s fits it perfectly..
I also get a sense of togetherness from the photo …. those people appear to be enjoying each other’s company and that wonderful sky ..a perfect ending to their day.
Nice photography! But most of all, great travelogue.
Lovely… Divine !!!!!!
It reminds me of the following verse from Footprints; a handful of lyrics by Selvarajan Yesudian…
On this strange star I pace my days.
Forgetting the footprints behind me, I know not the path I have to tread.
Which of the many is my celestial home that I have left behind, high in the sparkling vault of heaven?
You have made another spelling mistake- it is ‘Tarkarli’ and not ‘Tarkali’ as you have mentioned
i can think nothing when i see it!.. i just enjoy its beauty by concentrating on it 🙂

I always get this feeling when i am on a mountain summit or the beaches or somewhere midst nature…How small we are. Lovely place. Are you on a new trail?
Stumbled upon your blog.Lovely and amazing.Detailed reading of your blog will be done by me .I had aquick reading.Wondering how creative people are in different corners of the world.
Beautiful picture. The sky has always fascinated human beings.
a beeautiful shot of figures merging with the earth and the sea; and the sun seeming well in control of things..
reminds me of the times when i have stood at one such shore and felt the air cleanse me off my thoughts and made me feel lighter …its like nature saying, u dont have to do or manage anything, just go with the flow…
Wonderful picture!
It reminds me, of the dream that I have, to swim across the depth of the sea in the fading golden light and touch the horizon before the sky loses its virtue.
superb capture. sunset never ceased to interest me. adding to what you said, this picture invites us to enjoy nature and forget all problems. thanks for sharing!
but we small human brings only destroy the nature. pleasant view 🙂
Gorgeous sunset shot, Beautiful…Thomas
Very nice shot!
The best pictures do get created when the heavens and earth meet… don’t they?
This is awsome. Beautiful shilhouttes!
I love BIG skies and we are blessed with that…the clouds here have been astounding and yes, it always reminds me that we are but a speck…
lovely
Great photo and quote!
I always enjoy your blog it always takes me through great journeys to India with the writing and the photos that is why I choose your blog for one of The Lovely Blog Awards on my blog to share your link with others so they can enjoy the journey you take your readers to too.
I entirely agree with the sentiment Lakshmi.
So true. Really, this could be a picture from any point in our history. People would’ve sat by the sea in contemplation any time you choose.
Yes, human strength no matter how powerful is insignificant when compared to nature.
amazing picture!
gud luck.
Hello! Your travel stories are extremely interesting!
hi Lakshmi… very nice pictures..
It reminds me of a different perspective of life–
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” – Stephen Hawking
