The day started with a very beautiful rainbow in the North -West sky. The dawn was cloudy enough to hide the snow peaks of the Himalaya, but , we had some glimpses of Mt. Kbabu , Mt Janu at around 8 in the morning . We didn't have any fixed programme for the first half of the day. So, roamed about here and there chasing some butterflies and trying to shoot some macros of very tiny wild flowers.
After lunch, we trekked to Rinchenpong monastery to meet our old friends and came to know that the lamas will practice some dances for their ensuing festival in October . So I became very busy to shoot that. Sharing some of those shots.

Morning Rainbow is amazing! Was it really so dark or it's just the picture that came out that perfect?

Which camera do u use ? Plz tell me which place is better - Kaluk or Rinchenpong ? I will go there on 5th December,2010.
ReplyDelete@Jamil,
ReplyDeleteI use canon 450D ..
Kaluk is just 3 km 4m Rinchenpong, u can visit Kluk every day by walking 4m Rinchenpong. The view of Mt K , the staying and food availability is better at Rinchenpong.
nice and creative shots!!!
