_RAD0252- LANDSCAPE OF EXTREMES

EARTH DAY!

 

Leh, Ladakh is the highest spot on the planet that I've been to so far. At 3,500m above sea level, the landscape, the weather, the sights are a poetry of extremities. You could be walking in the shade with with a shiver and as you take 1 step into the sunlight, you begin to break a sweat. I have some really amusing memories of moments where we're walking through partial sun light. The face is being roasted and the body, which is in the shade is cramping up with the cold, despite the layers of warm winter wear. Here, when the sun shines onto the peaks, it reflects off the snow caps making them look like mountains of gold! Where there is shade, it looks like a completely different place that has been plucked out of the shadow lands and put there, misty, frigid and kissed by the Ice Queen.
