Gateway to heaven....

Getting this amazing image was just sheer luck and perfect timing on Sais part!! We were on our way back from Nubra Valley in Leh when Sai turned around, saw this perfect sight and literally jumped out of the car to take the snap. And what a stunning image it is!! At that time, i didnt realise what he had captured....i didnt even get off the car. I was totally fighting getting sick from all the hairpin bends and curves on the road (and trust me the whole road is just that!!). We got back to our army mess, saw this image on the laptop and i realised what an opportunity i had missed!! Wonder if we'll ever be able to see this again....cant wait for my next trip to Leh and Nubra....

This is and will always remain one of my most favorite photograhs. Sai and I had a dream holiday in Leh...the people, the experiences, the sights, everything was amazing. We rented a bike and rode all around dropping in at all the monasteries in and around Leh.
This moment was captured in Thiksey. The monk in the image was in charge of the library in Thiksey. We went in to take a look and while we were busy taking snaps, he went out. I came out to see him standing there so beautifully framed against the backdrop and couldnt help but click....
