Maritime Shipping Photo Gallery - The Sun,the Moon and the Sea.

The best thing about doing the morning and evening watch at sea is the chance of witnessing rise and setting of heavenly bodies.

Sunrise and Sunset bring sequence of changing colors on the horizon and the way Sun SINKS in the sea slowly and calmly leaving water and horizon all crimson and burning is well worth a sight.

Same is the Moon that shows itself gradually and rises from the surface of the sea on the horizon to spread its cool rays over the dark sky.

I watch for the changes on the sky and horizon, brought by rising or setting of the sun 'moon or Venice - the second brightest heavenly body on the night sky. Sky is filled with colors that along with clouds creates fascinating sight.

Colors keep on changing as the sun gradually set or rises. Presence of clouds and other weather phenomenon enhances the joy of crimson , orange, fiery, sky. Some times it appears like fire in the sky, and some times rays of color pour out of the horizon and spread in all directions causing strange and interesting scene

You may see rainbow in the sky - well that's usual isn't it, but how about your ship passing through the semicircle of rainbow colors - I tried to capture , but not to the fullest beautyof rainbow colors as we passed through it. By the way, some sailors say if a ship passes through the rainbow the singles onboard get married :) !!!

Some of these images, that I captured while on 4 to 8 watch fascinated me and ended up as wallpapers on the screen of my laptop..
