MAGIC IN THE HORIZON – KANYAKUMARI (PART 2) - FROM MY TRAVEL DAIRY

This is the next part of my travel series on the same place. Click here to see the first part about a special place where one can see sunrise and sunset directly within a span of 12 hours and in a distance of a Kilometer.

Please read on

Looking ahead on the road seems to be no end to the long seashore to make a halt and stay there expecting a memorable view, so the best option was to utilize the view Tower built for the same purpose, a building with a circular ramp having 7-8 levels from where people can also able to watch the clear blue seawater, Vivekananda Rock, Thiruvalluvar statue, Temple etc.

GANDHI MANDAPAM AND THIRUVALLUVAR STATUE (STANDING INSIDE SEA)
LOOKING FROM THE RAMP

There was not much rush in the ramps, so I tstood there to experience the sunset. As the time elapsed the hot red sun started moving towards the horizon slowly, the reducing glow of its face clearly visible as at approaches the sea. I wish to see few birds flying in the sky in between my eyes and the sun to make it a perfect shot but was not that much lucky to have that view.

TWO DIFFERENT SNAPS OF SUNSET
It was a great moment to watch the sun slowly melting on the horizon till almost half and then all of a sudden some black clouds had appeared interrupting the remaining whole episode or it had blacked out completely without any hint which made everyone disappointed and the only option was to leave the scene and proceed to the hotel since there was nothing substantial in the streets to spent few hours hoping to get up early next day.

PEOPLE GATHERED TO WATCH SUN RISE, VIVEKANANDA ROCK AND TIRUVALLUVAR STATUE CAN BE SEEN

Area for watching sunrise is relatively lesser than the long beach on the other side to watch sunset, hence it looked crowded with all the tourist were gathered on the seaside. Moreover this particular area from where sunrise is to be visible was between the seashore and homes of the locals with a church also along the line. From this location the Vivekananda rock and the statue of Thiruvallavar was clearly visible standing on the sea.

CHURCH AND FISHERMAN's HUT BEHIND MAIN BUILDING

From this location the Vivekananda rock and the statue of Thiruvallavar was clearly visible standing on the sea.

AN EARLY MORNING VIEW FROM THE SEA SHORE

A huge ramp was constructed in the sea, almost 100 to 200 meters in length using huge blocks of stone through which anyone can walk that feel like moving inside the sea.

THE LONG RAMP GOING INWARDS TO SEA

I was quite surprised by seeing the size of rocks as big as that of a small passenger car thinking that how it might had been transported and kept it in its position,.

THE HUGE BOULDERS OF THE RAMP
Many people were already at the far end of the ramp and at many intermediate locations seated well in advance to get the ideal view of sunrise. I too selected a convenient location in the ramp and were enjoyed the surrounding in the backdrop of sea everywhere.

PEOPLE ON THE LONG RAMP, SEASHORE AT THE BACK

Looking backwards to the seashore the ramp seems to be divided sea into two halves, on one side the rest of the endless seashore and on the other side the great vivekananda rock, the statue, the temple all looked glorious in the morning atmosphere just before the sun starts moving to this part of the earth.

To be continued with sunrise in the next post
