Trishul

The 3 peaks of Trishul as seen from Binsar, Uttarakhand, India.

 

Trisul (Hindi: त्रिशूल) is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, with the highest (Trisul I) reaching 7120m (Mt. Everest is 8848 m). The three peaks resemble a trident - in Hindi/Sanskrit, Trishul, trident, is the weapon of Lord Shiva.

 

This was a humble attempt at making the shot look like one of the grayscale masterpieces of Ansel Adams. I call the process Ansel Adamizing. His God like photographic perfection is almost impossible to achieve, but being a foolish mortal I thought I'd still give it a try......
