My pictures with their little stories

Setting sun at Shoja, Himachal This moment was an unexpected gift from the sun, the clouds, the mountains and the GOD. What more can I say. This was the same evening when I was walking towards village Shoja and this play of light was unfolding right in front of me. I spent as minimum time as I could in handling the camera as I would have missed those precious moments of looking at this divine phenomenon and experience it with all my senses.

Just before sundown at village Shoja This was the moment when different shades of browns and greens could still be seen with the inclined rays of the setting sun being threatened to be cut off by the high mountains behind which the sun would soon disappear. Soon it will be different shades of black that would start dominating. It will be difficult to distinguish dark green from black. That moment has started to creep in. (2014)

Sun going down at village Shoja, Himachal The houses of village Shoja are on a mountain slope. As we were walking towards the village, the side profile of the houses with the rays of the setting sun from across the mountain created a wonderful set of visuals. Everything was changing rapidly - the intensity of the sunlight, the colours all around with the chill setting in. (2014)

Sweets shop at Jalori Pass Nothing like a glass of garam chai with some freshly made sweets and namkeen in the crisp cool air of the mountains. The sweets shops owner was yet to put out the mithai for sale, it was so fresh.  On a clear day, the views around Jalori pass are spectacular. It was nice to sit in the dark dingy shop and then stroll around the area of Jalori pass with little shops around waiting for travellers. (2014)
