Photo – The Snowline – Ladakh India
|
The view from the top of Namgyal Palace which towers over the small town of Leh in Ladakh. Leh is very small but very welcoming place. The city market is just two streets wide with several old charming shops on either side with several antiques shops. The climb to the top of hill on which Namgyal Palace sits, is steep and tiring but the views are rewarding. One of the striking things you will soon notice about of the ladakhi landscapes are the contrasts in the landscapes around you. This photo shows that well.
This is a breathtaking pic…reminds me of an old song – “ye hasin vadiayan ye khula asmaan aagaye hum kaha…..”

Breathtaking picture Vinayak .. Is this processed or straight from the camera? Not that it makes any difference to the beauty. What gear do you use?
@Prateek Thanks. I used a borrowed Nikon D70s from a generous friend. I have Nikon D80 now. Most of the other pictures (other than Ladakh) are taken with it. Straight from the camera (converted to JPEG from raw NEF). You can get more info about the image at my PhotoBlog (http://lens.vinayakhegde.com/index.php?showimage=3 – Click on Image Info on mouseover).
Thats my land. Paradise on earth.
