Tonglu

Photographer's Note

It was captured in a cloudy morning at Tonglu (10000 ft), one small village in the Sandakphu trek route. After starting your trek from Manebhanjang you have to cover 14 km to reach this place. In clear weather you can see a panoramic view of Himalayan snow covered peaks like Mt. Kanchenzunga, Pandim, Makalu, Kumbhakarna etc. A very picturesque treker's hut is also waiting for you here. The short route to reach Tonglu is from Dhotre, which is only 6 km.
Here you can see a different sunrise with subdued light in sky due to cloud and just the piping of sun through it. The framing with the two Buddhist cemetery with the semi silhouetted ground attracted of at that time. Now I am sharing it with you. Hope you'll like it.

Hi Subhendu,

Great to see the purple colors. The purple we don't see too much here due to pollution. The silhouettes look wonderful and very well composed. Great work.

This is a shot for dreaming, it's of another world, far away from today's hustle. The moon between the pillars looks great. Well done. Thanks for your critique of my lottery seller.

Quand l'aube prend le pas sur la nuit et nous offre un tel spectacle, il faut absolument l'immortaliser, comme ici.

Namaste Subhendu,
Both tombs create a good frame and embrace the Sun to the dawn, in an image with a great visual attraction.
I like the light and the soft tones on the sky, and the strong contrast with the ground in semidarkness.
Is a nice work, full of calmness.
Best regards, my friend,
Josep

Hi Subhendu,
I don't know yet by myself how to do good sunrises or sunsets so I cannot really tell you how to improve it. :)
Certainly you have managed to capture an amazing atmosphere here. Cementeries always have a special mood, a bit scary, and the low light situations surely enhance it.
I think you should photograph this cementery some time again -I think it has a great potential, and it is very interesting for Europeans.
Nice work,
M
