We charmed the guard at Malpe port Sunday evening into let us through the already-closing gates of the port and hurried to the jetty to see the evening sun before those ominous clouds engulfed it. Saw the evening sun in all it’s glory amidst all the activity at the port. After about half an hour , just after the sun disappeared behind those clouds, we hear dha-dum - thunder and then the drizzle of the oncoming rain. Just as we made it to a shelter, the rain came thundering down drowning the sound of everything around us !
A very ‘note-worthy’ weekend otherwise too - lost a book, my mobile and reached Bangalore after a 15 hour journey from Mangalore through some super jammed roads.

Ah.. thats a lovely shot of Malpe. You should go to St Mary’s island sometime. A wonderful place.
Sorry about your mobile and book.

Thats quite a common thing actually. Sorry.. forgot to tell you about that. The roads are really bad in the ghats. There is an alternate route actually from Udupi… which comes via Shimoga. Takes an hour extra but obviously much better than getting stuck in the jams.

@anush: Well, I expected this and did take this ’supposedly better’ route.

The golden hues of the sunset are most enchanting and lend so much of beauty to Mangalore.
Lovely shot and great timing to be there.
