Spaceship

Clouds from [tag]Kedar Kantha[/tag] peak
Sun rays piercing through a blanket of clouds. Looks like a spaceship to me!

Picture taken: May 2005, about 13,000ft from the base of Kedar Kantha peak. Here is the travelogue of my [tag]Har-Ki-Doon[/tag] trek. The weather was changing so rapidly that within 30 minutes we had a hail shower, bright sunlight and then a wet spell. Needless to say, it was chilly, but unbelievably beautiful outside.

    Great shot, Priyank, as always!

    Sorry to be off-topic. But I was updating one of my posts and found a comment by you Priyank on 21st July! I always thought you were a very recent reader of my blog, finding my blog via Mahendra’s blog, but I guess you had visited before. :)

    Nita:
    Thanks :) Oh I don’t remember correctly, maybe I did visit your blog before!

    Oemar:
    It’s a pretty basic camera – Canon Powershot A 520. The best part abt it is the manual functions.

    Mahendra:
    Thanks!
    and Rambodoc? ahem!

    I love the fact you chance the settings rather than set the “auto”, I do that too (although I more often than not end up with something I didn’t intend to produce). It’s worth it for the odd wonderful photograph I occassionally take. This picture has captured everything I am talking about – it’s wonderful. Having viewed your profile, I guess I side with your grandmother on many of your activities, but I can’t help but to applaude your thirst for exploration and adventure. This world can always use more folk who are prepared to question, and to “do”. (Smile)

    A very beautiful shot of ethereal beauty. It lead me to the rest of your travelogue and I had a great time especially trekking along with you up the mountains virtually. :)

    Carol:
    Hey, welcome to my website and many thanks for your comments. I agree with you, manual photography settings are complicated, but the rewards make you smile anyway!

    vow it really does like a space ship. Had rakesh roshan seen it, his budget for the special effects could’ve been shrinked :)
