One of the things I look for while visiting a place is a spot to peacefully watch sunsets. Especially the ones overlooking a water body. But let me tell you, finding one such spot while traveling along an east-facing coastline is a herculean task.
I spent the long weekend in Batemans Bay, a beautiful coastal town on the southern coast of New South Wales, about 300 km from Sydney. Along with walking near the riverside, visiting Mogo village and eating loads of fish and chips, I spent a good chunk of the daylight zooming into Google Maps, trying to find a beachside that faces west and would have an unhindered view of the iconic Clyde river bridge as well as a sunset.
I did find a spot but was still unsure if it was the right vantage point as the whole area on both sides of the bridge was under construction.

But all my doubts went away when I saw the water turn golden as the sun prepared to go down the horizon, which was then followed by a mad rush of pink and purple.

So peaceful. It makes me breathe.
Stunning sky shots, Rajlakshmi! You’ve got some amazing captures there and the colours are simply divine. So radiant and so magical that I felt I was transported there for an instant!
Thank you for sharing this amazing post and linking up with us. Looking forward to seeing you this week too!
Such a calming view this is Raj.. I liked the intro you’ve given before the pictures. How the colors have changed from Golden to a mad rush of pink and purple. It’s stunning to view the sky at your place.
You tend to find the best ones Raj and these are real stunners. I am in absolute love with your nature photography – you post such terrific pics girl!!
The sunset pictures are breathtaking. Transported me to Australia for a moment!
Fantastic sunset shots.
Wow – gorgeous shots!
Really gorgeous sunsets, and I love the golden reflection off the water!
Stunning pics.
Lovely sunset! Iam afraid of water so usually don’t choose beaches to go on a vacation. Basically a mountain person. But, after seeing your pics, I feel I should come over my fear of water bodies and enjoy the nature.
Absolutely gorgeous! 💖 I can never get enough of sunset photos. Thank you; these made my day. 🙂
This is absolutely beautiful. You’re right about sunsets near a water body being stunning. I love the one with you and D.
Such fabulous photos. You might not believe but I have never ever seen a sunset. And, so I like sunrises more.
Stunning images! Looks like all your effort to find the right sunset viewing spot paid off brilliantly!
Look at that golden glow! Wow, you are so lucky to have witness this in person.
Beautiful sunset images! Love especially the one – is that you with your baby? Lovely! Many thanks for linking this atmosphere to All Seasons – have a great rest of the week! Jesh
Gorgeous sunsets. Sunsets over water are the best and I so enjoy seeing sunsets from parts of the world I may never be able to get to.
Beautiful photos! Sunsets always look so extra special when reflected on the water.
What a stunning skyline, Raj. Must be such a gift to witness. Like I said in my #WW post, the best things in life are free. 🙂
Have a blessed season ahead! ❤
Great exercise in map reading.
WOW! Gorgeous sunsets! And you have captured them beautifully.
Happy Wednesday!
You hit the jackpot in sunsets there!
Wow! And more wow!! What gorgeous captures. How beautiful it would be to sit and soak in the beauty of the setting sun!!
I never tire of viewing beautiful sunsets- so peaceful and calming and stunning!
