Skywatch Friday 2015 - 7 : Trip To Elephanta Island - 2 # Seagulls & Speedboats

As we moved away from the fast fading Gateway of India, we could see seagulls flying around us and some sitting on some floating foam-like material and enjoying the high tide. We also saw quite a few speedboats zooming past us in the wintry haze. All cameras were out and hardly anyone was seen seated in their places
We were now looking forward to see some ships and rigs in the sea.

Skywatch Friday Season 6, Week 9

These amazing cottony clouds against the blue sky were seen in Mumbai after two days of heavy rains. It was a rare and welcome sight, as the clouds are usually dark and angrylooking in the monsoon.

It's exactly a week I last posted a photo on MDS. This time it was a major fibre cable cut and replacement for almost 5 days. One important New year resolution is my change of Internet service provider very soon.

This is the morning sky near Versova fish market in the early morning hours at about 6.30 am.

Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Mumbai needs them like never before. The seige is over, but has left the city dark and gloomy. Mumbai police and NSG commandos lashed back on terrorism and proved once again that India stands strong and united.

The incident has hit hard a few political leaders on the face, who have been trying to spread unrest in the city over trivial matters such as language. It is proved that we are one nation irrespective of colour, caste, language, region or religion.

This is the evening sky on Thursday last week seen from Sanpada in Navi Mumbai. The silhouette you see is of the newly constructed buildings on Palm Beach road in Navi Mumbai.

The dark clouds in the sky reflects the dark mood of Mumbai over the last couple of days. There is fear and unrest in the hearts of Mumbaikars, and we are trying to get out of the shock and get back to normal life.

Here is another view of the same place, taken from the 9th floor of Millennium Towers at Sanpada, about 45 minutes before the first one.

The Mumbai Metro work in the middle of Versova road is responsible for regular traffic jams like this one. I was stuck in one of the traffic jams near Manish market and popped my head out of the autorickshaw to check the sky.  Got this one with the crane and I don't know what the other one is( a drill), against the light blue evening sky.

Most autorickshaw-wallas at Andheri station refuse to go to any place on Versova road nowadays in the evening, due to the traffic jams.

This is the morning sky seen from Sanpada station complex a few days ago. I'm glad I woke up earlier than usual and went out  for a walk and captured the rising sun.

On Wednesday, 22nd October 2008, India launched it's maiden unmanned mission to the moon.

The mission's goals are not just mapping the surface of the moon but also the distribution of elements and minerals.  The $80 million mission plans to test systems for a future moon landing.

It was a historic moment for our country.

And while different missions continue to explore the moon, we continue to stare at the moon, photograph it and enjoy romantic moonlit nights.

This is the moon as seen from my balcony on Wednesday night.
