As the sun sets over neat plots of green paddy fields along the AC road that connects Changanacherry town to Alappuzha backwater district, I captured a few shots of just how glorious sunset can be in a suburban landscape.
 |
| Houseboats of Alappuzha come home after a day cruising through the lively waters now fallen silent. |
 |
| Houses set against a setting sun, deep canal on one side and backwaters running into paddy fields for acres on the other side. Coconut trees stand mere spectators to the everyday beauty. |
 |
| Come evening local vendors take to selling the day's catch on the roadside. |
 |
| Hidden, but illuminating. |
 |
| Autos take to the stand like flocks of birds returning to the nest. Not that their day is done yet, but a little evening gossip never did anyone any harm, did it? |
 |
| Beautiful, isn't it? |
 |
| The Vemabanad canal |
 |
| A fish seller sets up camp for the evening. |
 |
| Little shops dotting the sideways come to life with laborers taking a tea break before heading home after the day's work. |
 |
| The whole panorama echoes a serenity that serenades a wooing to the coming calm silent night that will soon envelope the watery landscape. |
“If you stay here, you become lost. And no one can find you.
I like lost.” -Ally Condie
And that's exactly how I feel standing here watching the sun set.
