in Him-Alayas

My travels across the Himalayas (Srinagar- Leh- Manali)

Great Flats

miles and miles of dry flat plain

Deep Shadow

one bright blue sky is all that you need

Cloudy at a distance

not all days are bright and sunny, yet no less awesome

Monastery of a King

its old and high and hidden close to sky

salty Pangong Tso

Purple Scape

mild green dotted with bright violets

Scratched Sky

so pointed are the peaks it even scratched the sky

Sheep Yard

hundreds of them just graze as you gaze

Serendipity

one morning I saw this and felt heavenly

rifting into Rameswaram

a quick run to Rameswaram produced the following time-grabs...... journey logs here
