Imagine waking up in the morning with fresh mountain air caressing you gently. Imagine taking a walk and seeing all around you the bluest skies, the freshest green dew washed trees, and hearing the roar of a mighty river. Run your mind a little more and walk around a bend to be suddenly struck by a vision of breathtaking beauty. Red Rhododendron flowers on a beautifully green tree and Ganges flowing underneath.

All this after a crazy night of getting lost, drenched, sleeping hungry, setting up camp in a setting out of a horror movie, with a ghost tree for full effect!

From the days of good old 400 ISO film and a 1978 Fujica film SLR… Rhododendrons in Bloom over the Ganges in Uttaranchal…
