Here I have used watercolour and pen on paper. In this composition you can see that the sun is in full swing . Beach road is one of my favourite travel destination in Visakhapatnam city. Firstly when I visited this place , I was simply spellbound to see the beauty of Bay of Bengal. I made some fast sketches sitting there. I also took some photos for future references.

A Lonely Lighthouse

Painting on paper (watercolour)

Title - A Lonely Lighthouse

This is a fully imaginative work created by me last week. It was the result of the inspiration  I had gained  by visiting a lighthouse in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh.

In the Indian coastal side , we can get these types of lonely lighthouses  standing firmly against all the climatic disasters. This is quite inspiring to me. When I visited Visakhapatnam last January , I noticed two light houses there.

First time in my life I had entered into a lighthouse in Visakhapatnam .  I perched the top of the the lighthouse to see the "Bay Of Bengal" from here. A breath taking view of the sea  was waiting for the visitors . I captured many shots . Cool gentle breeze was passing by. The day was sunny. I was deeply motivated by the scenic view from there . The Lighthouse is situated on the hill top. The big ships were looking like a small ant from there.

Recently I visited  Visakhapatnam for an art related project. The tour was really unforgettable. The place is really nice for open air painting. I have visited Rusikonda, Bheemli, Simhachalam Hill,Lord Varaha Narasimha Swami's Temple, Ross Hill,Yarada village,Yarada Beach,Kailasagiri Hill,Tennati Park,VUDA Park,R.K.Beach, Light House,Dolphine Nose Point, Hindustan Ship Yard,Araku Valley and many other places. The weather was perfect for the tour. The people here are very well mannered ,helpful,disciplined and hardworking. APSRTC bus services are one of the best bus services I have ever seen in my life. 

The view of Bay of Bengal from R.K.Beach,Rushikonda,Yarada Beach and Bheemli is breathtaking. Visakhapatnam Railway station is also very beautiful and well maintained. I reached VIZAG  by Chennai -Santragachi AC Bi-weekly Super Fast Express. Visakhapatnam 

city is surrounded by small and big hills. I caught the bus 900k from APSRTC bus terminus for Bheemli. The tour was a majestic one. The bus runs through the Beach road for an hour. On the way you can view the hills of Kailasagiri,Rushikonda and Bay of Bengal simultaneously. 

Visakhapatnam or Vizag is really a paradise on earth. You can find here lakes,cool beaches,vallies,caves,rivers,forests,parks,big ships,light houses,mountain ranges,sanctuary,mountain railway (Visakhapatnam to Kirandul ) ,museums and many other interesting things.
