Sunrise.

 

It is amazing to watch the moments of sunrise in the Palkonda hills, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh. Every sunrise is a new hope. In the dawn' s twilight, the sky appears as a canvas where crimson, orange, red, yellow and grey colours mix to make the sunrise vibrant.The birds chirping is heard, a cool breeze whistling and whispers, leaves move silently in the morning.Slowly slowly, the sun appears in the horizon and rises strengthening it rays towards everywhere.
