Monsoons: Let Yourself Glide Through The Clouds

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Nandini

It’s cool. It’s humid. It’s beautiful. It’s dark. Clouds arrive in a fashionable way and then spread around. It rains sometimes, and then again it’s just clouds hanging around. Grass is wet and the path is slippery. Nothing is dry and warm. Still I walk and walk letting the clouds pass right beside me, through me, and all over again, I experience one of the gifts of the nature- monsoons.

Location: Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh, India.

Lucky you. For us the clouds pass by without letting us feel the moist droplets and the cool opaque sheet of fantasy. All we do is look up and pray that at least we be lucky enough to feel the final showdown, rains.
Lovely pics Nans and specially the one where we can see you and yet cannot see you….

I wonder — the way these photographs are looking here, so beautiful, calm and perfect — how would the view be in real life? I don’t think it’s possible to describe the feeling.

For people like myself who are from the plains, the place where you live in the hills is the one we crave for throughout our lives. And you are lucky enough to be living there. Cherish this feeling, always.

Lovely, ethereal series of photos Nandini! The trees in the mist-sigh. I don’t waste any time grabbing my camera when it is misty and foggy here at home.

Wow this is so beautiful. I remember when I had my first brush with it, I thought it was mist. Mist? Come on, but I finally got to know there were clouds. Walking with the clouds…I loved it. Nice to relive thouse moments
