Martoli's hindouist temple, a photo from Uttarakhand, North

Photographer's Note

In a lost valley near the Nanda Devi mountain, Martoli is a small village. In autumn and winter, nobody lives here because of the snow (the village is at about 3384 meters above sea level).
In a hill near the village, a hindouist temple has been built. Here are the bells of the temple.

Great shot, Stephane. A simple, yet effective composition, with the bells leading the viewer's eye into the picture. Strong earthy colours add to the attraction of the image. Great work! Ryno

Hi Stephane
Very pleasing composition with the tree trunk leading the eye well in to the photo.
Lovely light you got here as well.

Salut Stephane,

Alors tu as fait ce fameux trek. Je regarderai attentivement tes futurs posts. Mais je vois que c'est d閖� un trek de 2008.
Dans les projets, j'ai en t阾e de retourner dans l'Himalaya indien, mais plut魌 pour aller du c魌� du lac Tsomori.
Pas courant le sujet de ta photo. C'est la premi鑢e fois que je vois une telle succession de cloches.

Yves.

very nicely spotted indeed.gives the feel of the place and how rugged and dry it is
.the diagonal of the white covered wood,and the red flag on the upper and left 3rds line makes the pic really attractive.

Salut St閜hane
Par vent fort cela doit faire beaucoup de bruit.
Int閞essante perspective en pente.
Bien cordialement

Belle luminosit� et beau cadrage, la ligne de fuite nous am鑞e plus loin peut 阾re pour continuer la route... Belle s閞ie de cloches, on voit bien les d閠ails sur la premi鑢e.
