Sailing Boats :D (Part 2)

   
On the way to Seawoods lake, the sunrise had just started.

The sun partly visible behind the mountains.
On the highway, after this i fell asleep and....
...and opened my eyes to this view, the sun, reflection in the lake and on the top of the car.
The entrance, "Bowa celebrated Karthik Purnima" (not sure what bowa means :/ )
one of the customised boats i mentioned in part 1
Another boat.
My boat, made of banana stem, a green flag, a diya, sweets placed inside a leaf, a flower on a stick(genda phool)
The women making the boats and selling them.
The official bowa boat, i think it was the main boat made by the organizers. 
The idol where we were supposed to light and place he diyas.
The customised boats being taken on a real boat to be sailed in the middle of the lake.
The suns reflection on the corner of the boat, perfect timing. Best shot.
The men reached the middle of the lake, my my look at the sunlight O_O
Kids bursting crackers.
Mumbai, skyline, some boats that didnt manage to move further.
Just a random click, with the refection of buildings in the water and the trees, the only isolated corner i could find
The crowd
 
Another scene shot, sihoutte. :)
