Rain washed Twilight hour
Today it rained in the evening and for an hour or so, around 6 pm the skies cleared and the Sun bid goodbye for the day … Captured the beautiful twilight hour in a few photographs that do no justice to the spectacle :).
The True Eco-Warriors – Rewarded

What would we do … Read more

It’s a tiny lake in the middle of lush green meadows ringed with Deodar trees. We were there on April 28th … Read more
