Ambala feat. Laid Back - Walk With The Dreamers ♪ ♫ ♩ ♬
Nice soft tunes . . .^^
Yeah . . .
Just a drop in the ocean,
Just a flash in the night,
Just a soul among billions,
Where no place to hide . . .
The world keeps turning around,
While we sleepin safe in sound,
There is still long way to go,
i think i begining to see the light . . .
Walk with the dreamers,
Walk with your head in the clouds,
Walk with the angels,
Keep your feet on the ground . . .

The Hindustan-Tibet Road or the National Highway No.22 as it is now known, was built by the British in the 1850s.It is approx 500 kms long and runs from Ambala in the plains of north India to Shipki La Pass in the Indo-Tibet border in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh.The road runs through spectacular scenery and also through some of the most difficult mountain terrain in the world.Beyond Narkanda ,from the little town of Sainj,the road runs beside the River Sutlej right upto Shipki La Pass.It is through this pass that Sutlej enters into India from Tibet.I took this shot somewhere near the town of Rampur on our way to Sarahan from Shimla.

NH22, the gateway to Kinnaur is very attractive by itself.The edge,which is sharp at places, falls vertically to riverbed of Sutlej. NH22is a important road in the national highway grid connecting Ambala in Punjab to Khab in Himachal Pradesh via Chandigarh, Shimla, Narkanda, Rampur and beyond Khab to the Indo-Tibet border via Shipki La pass. In Himachal Pradesh it is a poorly maintained mountainous road with sections cut through rocky wall of Sutlej valley.Hairpin bends, broken fences, narrow dimensions and frequent landslides make for dangerous driving conditions.No wonder it has been named as one of the Deadliest roads in the world by the History Channel. It is 460km long.

The Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a medium-sized lagomorph (c140g) that occurs mainly on the high desert plateaux of China, but also in Tibet, Pakistan, India and Nepal. They look a bit like Gerbils but are in the same family as rabbits and hares, but have oddly human ears. It gets really cold in winter on the Tibetan Plateau yet they do not hibernate, being active year round. They are also only active during the day when they feed on grasses and sedges, sleeping in their burrows at night. They also occur in extraordinary abundance and are the main prey item for most of the predators that occur on the plateau (Tibetan Fox, Pallas's Cat, Chinese Mountain Cat, Saker Falcon, Upland Buzzard, Steppe Eagle, Eagle Owl). I photographed this individual with a magnificent Roman-nose profile in the snow at Rouergai, nearly 4000m asl on the Tibetan Plateau. There was a blanket of snow on the ground but they prepare for that by keeping a store of hay in their burrows, to get them through the times when snow covers their feeding grounds.
One source on the internet says that the scientific name curzoniae is dedicated to Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, but he was not even born when Hodgson first named this species in 1848. My friend Malcolm Peaker www.flickr.com/photos/16609079@N04/ solved the conundrum here zoologyweblog.blogspot.com/2018/01/plateau-pika-o-curzoni... by looking at the original description and noting it was dedicated to "the Hon'ble Mrs Curzon" who was almost certainly Augusta Latham Hallifax (1837-1917). She married the Honourable Ernest George Curzon (1828-1885) on 14 January 1856 at Umbala (now Ambala), 120 miles north of Delhi. His wife had the courtesy title "Honourable" and Hodgson named the Pika just 15 months after she acquired that title.
Vatva WDG3A 14878R chugs under the insane semaphore arrangement at the west end of Dhuri Junction with a container train. Dhuri is an important Junction between lines to Ludhiana, Bathinda, Ambala and Delhi, many freight trains will come off one line, run around their train and go out on another as this train has just done. Atleast one line through Dhuri will likely see electrification in the near future and the semaphores will no doubt fall, even in India these relics are on borrowed time.

I thought of this title because of its trail. You don't often see the black smoke coming out of these planes. It was an Indian Air force Plane, perhaps one of the Ilyushin series.
