One of the best ways to witness the beauty of Kochi city is by taking a walk during the early morning hours when the rising sun casts a golden hue across the landscape. On a recent morning, I headed out to Goshree Bolgatty Bridge, a scenic stretch connecting the mainland to the islands, carrying with me my new Canon EOS R50 V camera equipped with an EF 24–105mm f/4L IS USM lens.
This blog post features two videos I captured during that walk—one in horizontal format and the other as a vertical YouTube Shorts video, both filmed in 4K resolution. Alongside these, I’m sharing four still photographs that reflect the essence of that peaceful morning—sunrise, human activity, traffic, and the serene backwaters.
📽️ Video 1: Morning Scenes from Goshree Bolgatty Bridge – 4K Dash & Traffic Views
This video captures a range of visuals—from ferry boats gently gliding across the backwaters to traffic slowly building up on the bridge. It was also a test of how well the Canon EOS R50 V could perform in varied light and motion conditions. The video showcases:
-
The morning commute on two-wheelers, trucks, and buses
-
Local water transport and fishing boats
-
The tranquil backwaters with a warm sunrise backdrop

🌅 Why Goshree Bolgatty Bridge is a Great Spot for Morning Photography
This location provides a rare combination of:
-
Open view of the sunrise over the backwaters
-
Movement of local transport (buses, bikes, trucks)
-
Access to pedestrian paths
-
Boats and ferries nearby for diverse framing
If you’re looking to test a new camera or simply enjoy a peaceful photo walk in Kochi, I highly recommend an early morning visit to this bridge.
