Stretched across a polite 2 kilometres of clear sands, Agonda beach is one of the most tranquil spots of Goa. I decided to steal an evening and escape to this secluded beach, before it gets dressed for the upcoming season.

The changing colours of the sun and correspondingly, the sky and waters seemed somewhat surreal. The silent ambience added to the magic. Here are some photographs from an evening I spent chasing the sun.

As I entered the colour temperature of the sky was cool.

Soon the low hanging clouds were making way for the yellow sun.

And in no time did it saturate the entire sky and the water colours.

Agonda is full of precious shells.

Request: Whether travelling to Goa or any other beach, please do not pick seashells. They are essential in maintaining a healthy (coastal) ecosystem.
