The weather was mostly sunny. It was a great time to walk through fields full of gorgeous tulips in different colours. This one caught the eye because of its colours. I chose to go close to the flowers for the shot.

Trees are an oasis of life for many life-forms. This one was well-shaped and stood out in the morning sun. It was nice and green although summer had set in.

The setting sun was just visible over the tree line. The river reflected colours of the sky.  Reds and blues dominated the frame. Wisps of clouds could be seen low on the horizon.

Sunlit Woods
Dalhousie is 80 km by road from Pathankhot. It is at a height of 2000 metres and is a popular hill station. The town is built on a hilly area and buildings are often standing on stilts on hill slopes. Cultivation is on terraces cut into the hills. Tall Deodhar trees are seen everywhere. I had gone there in June when the summer was coming to a close. Himalayan mountains could be seen at a distance.

Background

We were travelling by road to Khajjiar when the terraced hills caught my eyes. The hills were lit by bright sunshine. Some distance away, there was a wooded area of Deodhar trees.

Camera Info

The focal length was 14.3 mm which gave me a wide angle view. Aperture was set to f/4.5 and shutter speed was at a comfortable 1/200 sec. You can see the photo on my Flickr page. It is part of my Getty Images collection.
