The clear sky at Bandra Fort

Skywatch Friday 2015 - 7 : Trip To Elephanta Island - 2 # Seagulls & Speedboats

As we moved away from the fast fading Gateway of India, we could see seagulls flying around us and some sitting on some floating foam-like material and enjoying the high tide. We also saw quite a few speedboats zooming past us in the wintry haze. All cameras were out and hardly anyone was seen seated in their places
We were now looking forward to see some ships and rigs in the sea.

Click to view large size image and migratory birds

The Sagar Vihar gardens is a popular tourist spot in Navi Mumbai. The view of the Arabian sea, Vashi bridge, the sunset and the migratory birds from the seashore here is awesome. Earlier there were hovercraft services from here to Mumbai which have now been stopped. The garden is also not very well-maintained now, but the place is worth a visit for the beautiful view of the sunset and the sea.

Happy New Year 2015 to the Skywatch Family from Anita & Krrish in Mumbai

Sunset at Castella de Aguada

Castella de Aguada (Fort of the Waterpoint), commonly known as Bandra Fort is a fort located at Land's End, Bandra. It was built by the Portuguese in 1641 to be used as a watchtower, but is now in ruins. 

The sunset and the Bandra-Worli sealink view from here is incredible.
A popular hangout spot with an amphitheatre which serves as a venue for many events, it is one of the must-visit destination for Mumbai tourists.

Skywatch Friday 2014 - 2 : Towers of Doom

Electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone towers installed on tops of residential buildings can pose a major health hazard for residents living within 300 m range, especially pregnant women and children and those living in the top floors of the building.
The residents show symptoms like memory loss, lack of concentration, headache, mood swings and hormonal imbalance. They also have greater risk of developing cancer. The radiation causes insects, bees, butterflies, sparrows and pigeons in the vicinity to disappear.

Is it ignorance of the consequences, or greed for money that the towers end up getting installed on so many residential buildings?
Is there a 'Tower of Doom' in your area?

Skywatch Friday #18

Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Mumbai needs them like never before. The seige is over, but has left the city dark and gloomy. Mumbai police and NSG commandos lashed back on terrorism and proved once again that India stands strong and united.

The incident has hit hard a few political leaders on the face, who have been trying to spread unrest in the city over trivial matters such as language. It is proved that we are one nation irrespective of colour, caste, language, region or religion.

This is the evening sky on Thursday last week seen from Sanpada in Navi Mumbai. The silhouette you see is of the newly constructed buildings on Palm Beach road in Navi Mumbai.

The dark clouds in the sky reflects the dark mood of Mumbai over the last couple of days. There is fear and unrest in the hearts of Mumbaikars, and we are trying to get out of the shock and get back to normal life.

Here is another view of the same place, taken from the 9th floor of Millennium Towers at Sanpada, about 45 minutes before the first one.
