The intricacies of clouds make me ponder,
Who creates this beautiful wonder?
The shades and shapes of clouds make me bewilder,
Why my mood is set by sky high wanderer?

In the glorious morning sunshine,
The clouds glow with golden shine,
My heart basks in the aura of brilliance,
My mind looks forward to the joyous outcome.

Sometimes the sky is full of dark ominous clouds,
Flashes of lightning make me hide under covers,
Sometimes I watch the sky with fluffy white clouds,
I welcome the snow flakes with the joy and fun.

Sometimes the clouds bring downpour of the rain,
I love to watch the rain fulfilling the Nature’s reservoirs.
Sometimes I watch a lonely cloud floating in the sky,
I feel like an aimless wanderer lost in my lonely world.

During the sunset my imaginations go wild,
The golden rays of departing sun paint the clouds in vivid colors,
I can relate the golden shade to the glorious life we have,
I can envision the fading colors to one day of our life’s journey end.

I just stumbled upon this great photo by Usman today. Would have been more eye catching if done some post processing. Like the picture below done by me.

Leh – Capital of Ladakh

Leh, the capital of Ladakh is situated at a height of 3505 meters and is towards the eastern parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The region is watered by the Zanskar River, which flows into the Indus River just below.

Old palace at Leh, Ladakh,  by Noor khan.

Spilling out of a side valley that tapers north towards eroded snow-capped peaks, the Ladakhi capital sprawls from the foot of a ruined Tibetan style palace – a maze of mud-brick and concrete flanked on one side by cream-coloured desert, and on the other by a swathe of lush irrigated farmland. As one approaches Leh for the first time, via the sloping seep of dust and pebbles that divide if from the floor of the Indus Valley, one will have little difficulty imagining how the old trans -Himalayan traders must have felt as they plodded in on the caravan routes from Yarkhand and Tibet: a mixture of relief at having crossed the mountains in one piece, and anticipation of a relaxing spell in one of central Asia’s most scenic and atmospheric towns. Leh is a beautiful destination with so many attractions and is the center of Tibeto-Buddhist Culture for ages. Its colorful gompas have attracted the devout Buddhists from all over the globe. Besides, it is also a favorite hiking locale and is known for some of the best hikes in the country.

A great macro shot capturing a real beauty. Somehow made me remember this poem by John Keats as he himself says “A thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness”. So here goes the poem!

Ode to a Nightingale

“I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs,
But, in embalmèd darkness, guess each sweet
Wherewith the seasonable month endows
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;
Fast-fading violets cover’d up in leaves;
And mid-May’s eldest child,
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves”
