Framed

This photo was composed in Thikse Monastery during my Road trip to Leh in June 2011. The color combination and the straight lines made this locked door an interesting subject. what you see as black coat of paint in this photo is actually hundreds of sticks put together. I assume that this is some load bearing structure as these buildings always give importance to function over form.  The art work that surrounds the frames and the contrasting colors add beauty to the photo.

Thikse Monastery


This was shot during my Delhi-Manali-Leh-Srinagar trip in June 2011. The photo is that of Thikse Monastery. Shot using a Nikon D80. Ladakh is simply out of the world. you have to see the raw beauty of the place to appreciate it. cameras and photos can only do so much justice to the place. If you love photography, the palette that nature offers in Ladakh is worth atleast a visit during one's lifetime :)
