Oft-encountered “11” – Kabini sunset (#20 in series of single-image south India teasers)

 

Every day on “our” planet  “our” sun seemingly rises and sets.

(unless one is within the Arctic or Antarctic “circle” in summer or winter)

On at least many days – in drier regions, most days –  humans who care to pay attention can view the sun’s daily emergence and disappearance.

To those who do not care to pay them attention, such “every day” events are the very definition of ennui.

The (generally, much happier) rest of us relish the happy reality that no two sunrises/sunsets are too much alike, even in a single place.

Travelling to different locations further enhances this delicious, effectively-infinite variability.

Photo is copyright Doug Spencer, taken from Kabini River Lodge, Karnataka, at 6.28 pm on 03 March 2023.

Kabini River Lodge is in the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve’s buffer zone, a few minutes’ drive from the national park-proper.

The photo’s vantage point is very near to “our” cottage, overlooking the man-made lake section of the Kabini River.

On the horizon are the eastern/inland foothills of the Western Ghats.

As future, multi-image posts will illustrate, this Tiger Reserve did “deliver”…and Bengal tigers were just one of many notable species we saw there.
