The splendor of nature – sunrise views from Timila


The splendor of nature – sunrise views from Timila
As the sun is just about to peep out from behind the Himalayan ranges
            Due to personal pre-occupation this year, we could not visit any destination during the year end or the beginning of the New Year.  However, not putting up a blog onto my site on the first month of the New Year, would be a bad omen and accordingly, I am putting forth a photo-blog of my visit during November, 2018 to my summer pad in village Timila in Tehsil Ranikhet of Uttarakhand.  The Himalayan ranges are not usually visible all-round the year, due to various atmospheric conditions prevailing from time to time, coupled with the distance, they are usually visible on clearer days, but this time around, for the two days that I visited the place, the clarity was exceptional and I could shoot some pre-dawn photographs also.  Here is a photographic presentation of the sunrise -
As the dawn is breaking - the Himalayan ranges are in a slumber
As the dawn lit mountains light up
The orange glow of the rising Sun lights up the horizon
The first rays of morning Sun kisses the snow capped peaks
As the top of Chowkhamba peaks light up
The orange glow of the rising Sun lights up the morning sky
The dawn is about to break the silence of the mountain peaks
The dawn the finally broken through lighting up the mighty mountains
The birds have started chirping - heralding the breaking of a new day
The spectacle of the glorious sunlit Himalayan peaks unfolds in all its glory
The Sun finally breaks through the horizon lighting up the sky in its'orange glow
Now the early morning sun lights up the Himalayan ranges 
Is it the reflection of a Trishul?  No just a plant - but symbolic of the Himalayas and sunrise
