Boats of Besant Nagar (Photo Walk)
The Boats of Besant Nagar:
So I went to a photo-walk to Besant Nagar/Elliots beach, organized by Humans of Madras. Since we were not allowed to visit the broken bridge (which was our original destination) by the cops due to time restrictions, I hereby present to you some photos I took of boats belonging to a small fisherman colony, nearby.
We saw a Turtle Hatchery set-up near the Besant Nagar beach in order to save the turtle eggs until they hatch. Here it is:
While we were there, luckily, the volunteers were releasing a batch of the turtles into the sea. Here are the cutiepie turtle kids 🙂

so many evenings I have spent at that beach with friends. Brought back some fond memories 🙂
Oh, I could have put the pics of the beach too, then 🙂

Thanks a lot, Rajesh, for quoting my post.
I saw some fishing boats during our night/moon walk after our Turtle walk. We were walking near the water until 12 am. It was a memorable day for us.
Nice pictures of the boats which I missed to shoot!
Your post is detailed and very well written. Kudos to you for staying up so late in the night for the Turtle Walk!

Beautiful pics. Did you take these using your new camera? Quality is good.
Yes, I took these photos using my new camera. I will review it next week. It’s a very good camera.

Beautiful photos on the boats! I have been to broken-bridge couple of times and it was very long back and i really want to be there someday, but i wonder cops allow the car drove till the bridge like we done before. Glad they preserve the turtles/eggs and making sure a safe passage into sea.
Need to check Sandhya’s post on turtle walk.
I saw cars on the way, but not sure if they are allowed until the broken bridge, because I was not there myself.
