Weekly Photo Challenge–Horizon

Horizon–What this word bring to your Mind?

If we go by the Books it is The line that separates the Earth from the Sky,But has anyone ever seen that line….It is always like as much as close we get to them they seem to be as much as far from us,but then that is the way it is defined.. 😀

So,instead of defining we just can look at them and adore.. 😀

A line infinite

Striking Waves..

During my visit to Kanyakumari–The one shot that was on my mind was to shot the sea waves pretty close to me and I was lucky enough to get hold of one.. 🙂

But to take this shot I had to wait for around half an hour as the waves I guess was in mood to make me wait..But I am thankful and after seeing the shots I guess the wait was worth enough.. 🙂

What do you all think?(Please click on the images for better view)

Waves Nearing The Lens

Mahatma Gandhi said–“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

Theodore Isaac Rubin –“Have you considered that if you don’t make waves, nobody including yourself will know that you are alive?”

Close Up Waves

This one was pretty close to my Camera..Few drops came pretty close in making the camera lens wet..But this is beautiful..isn’t it?
