The Lake and the Sunset Glow

Sunsets are an amazing time to experience and photograph. I've come to see some magnificent sunsets over the years an this is one of those special occasions, this one over Lake Pichola in Udaipur.

 

Udaipur is called the city of lakes and for good reason because it has some beautiful lakes with breathtaking views from all over. Sun, the provider of light and colors adds true glow to the water at all times but when it sets, everything turns golden.

 

I hope you guys like this one as much as I've come to like Udaipur, the beautiful city of lakes :)
