Sunrise over the Bay of Bengal










These pictures may be in reverse order, depending on if they are looked at first, or the text is read first. The sun is coming up, so start at the bottom and look up. I got up at 5:00 a.m. and went out on the balcony of our room at the ashram. I had been planning on doing this at the Chennai beach my last day, but this was far more beautiful...no offense to Chennai! It was so beautiful. I could hear the waves beating on the rocks. There was a bit of a breeze. As it got lighter, people came out one by one to walk or do yoga. If you look closely, there are fishing boats in some of the pictures. In the very top picture, it is possible to see the boat quite well. I had seen the sun sink into Lake Michigan and the Gulf of Mexico, but I don't remember watching it rise out of water. I know I have been to the Tip of the Thumb more than once, but don't remember getting up for the sunrise. It was so comfortable, I would nod a bit, then remember I was watching the sunrise and open my eyes again. It was a very nice hour and a half.
