In Pictures | Mumbai as you have never seen before in 10 frames

Here’s the Sea Link as captured from Dadar Chowpatty against a deep blue sky. The structure and its watery canvas, works every kind of light to its photographic advantage. (Photo courtesy - Hemant Padalkar)

If you’re lucky to be at Monica Vaziralli’s Oricon House penthouse on a full-moon night, you will see the CSMVS dome bathed in silver glory. The sight of it clad in dappled sunlight during the day is as mesmerising as the night view. (Photo courtesy - Salman Ansari)

This one’s a fresh perspective on Mumbai’s most iconic view. Seen from the Sea Lounge at Taj, the focus is not just on the Gateway, but the stretch of Arabian Sea clutching its sides against a glum monsoon sky. This structure is as much about rain, slush and a need for cover as much as it is about gorgeous sunsets. (Photo courtesy - Salman Ansari)

Shot from Lala Lajpatrai Marg opposite the famous Haji Ali Dargah, this frame captures a riot of colours in the twilight sky that illuminate the dargah, the hues distinct from the neon of its evening lights. (Photo courtesy - Dinesh Parab)

A short trek through the elevated terrains of Jagdusha Nagar in Ghatkopar (W) leads to this spot a little above Khandoba Temple. Shot during the ‘blue hour’, with residual sunlight streaking the skies of Mumbai’s eastern suburbs, the photographer swears by the sundowns as seen from this oft -overlooked nook. (Photo courtesy - Swapnil Junjare/mumbai_igers)

Bathed in early-winter sunlight, Nerul Pond near Palm Beach Road offers a moment of calm – a rare experience in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Surrounded by idyllic walking tracks with green groves, the water body here is seen through tuft s of catkins surfacing from the banks. (Photo courtesy - dna Photo Team)

The view of Powai Lake’s placid waters, often taken in by the lot at IIT-Bombay, can also be enjoyed from the decks at Renaissance Hotel. There’s little than can spoil this scenery — the rainy skies in this shot would agree.

The salt pans near the Eastern Express Highway glint in the afternoon sun in a way that often makes them look like snow in the midst of a concrete city. In this picture, a man spreads out the salt, his frame silhouetted in high noon. (Photo courtesy - dna Photo Team)

On his routine morning walk near Worli Seaface, Mhatre positioned himself just near the start of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Talking about the 8 am watercolour view, he confessed to feeling at home here. One is certain he’s not the only one in this regard. (Photo courtesy - Harshit Mhatre/mumbai_igers)

This frame pays homage to a lit-up Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), the structure synonymous with Mumbai. The graffiti that appeared on the familiar corner sometime last February caught the photographer’s fancy for obvious reasons. A marker of sass and resilience, it’s just like you – and this city. (Photo courtesy - Virat A Singh)
