Heaven on Earth, a photo from Jammu and Kashmir, North

Photographer's Note

This is Lake Tso Moriri in south east of Leh in Ladakh district in India.
This is a breathtaking 7 km wide and 19 km long lake at the altitude of 4000 m above sea level. This lake surrounded by snowclad mountains is near India China border but completely in the Indian territory unlike Pengong which extends into Chinese territory. The breathtaking blue shade seen in the image is the one which is witnessed in reality by an onlooker.

Though the beauty of the lake is spellbound, the living conditions are harsh ....The lake gets completely frozen in winters..In october when this image was taken, one can see the ice sleet formation near the banks in the image also.

Hello Jain,

Pleasant panorama image with water and splendid snowy mountains in background.
Excellent composition and lovely presentation.
Maybe one advice, try in future one water line to place horizontal.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Manisha,
Cool blue colours and glaciers reaching towards water level give impression of Arctic regions. But instead we are high up on Himalayan mountains. Incredible beauty of nature on this hard to reach place.

Hello Manisha,

Your photograph captures beautiful scenery and yet the subtle blues paint a very chilly picture.
The different, horizontal layers, capture different textures, guiding us inwards, to the rugged, ridged details of the snowy mountains, which are challenging the clouds for height.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Manisha,

An impressive panorama with beautiful snowy mountains and the deep blue lake. It looks like a wild place. Sharpness and exposure are very good. The photo is slightly tilted clockwise.

Hello Manisha,
Wonderful natural scenery with the snowcapped peaks and white clouds between the blue lake and the blue upper part of the sky.
Yes, I can see the ice on the water in the foreground.
Many years ago I've travelled to Ladakh but in summertime. You were there very late in the season.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Manisha,
I have read your intro. I am have also studied chemistry and worked as assistant professor in the past. It seems we have a lot in common.

What an anazing sight here! Very wide scene which seems to stretch as far as we can see.
I like the alternating horizontal layers with various tones of blue and different textures.
It must have been breath taking to see it in person.
Very well done,
M
