For one horrible moment this evening, I thought I was witnessing the start of a tornado - almost unheard of in the UK. The sky suddenly turned black, and long tendrils of dark clouds reached down towards the ground. As I watched, (taking photos of course!) it became clear that it was merely heavy sleet showers...
Noodles, outside on the flat roof, beat a hasty retreat in through the window when she got caught in it, much to her disgust!
A selfie spot overlooking the Gulmarg Valley in Kashmir, India. As my friend (the one with the jacket) and I were takinf this picture, a family from south India stood next to us. Although the ladies in that group are wearing more modern attire, the old man in the picture seems to still prefer to go around in his dhoti (sarong). Wonder how he manages in that cold. These selfie spots have sprung up at tourist spots all across Kashmir. I have already photographed them at the Dal Lake in Srinagar and at Pahalgam. (see Srinagar and Pahalgam albums). Be that as it may, once we reached Gulmarg, there were several disappointments in store for us. First, we could not drive around the sights of Gulmarg, it was mandatory to use a local taxi, and the rates were extortionate, to say the least. They were quoting rates from INR 4,000 to 6,000 for an one hour ride, trying to justify it by saying they can only only four months in a year, the rest of the year, it's snow and they cannot operate. Second, the famous Gulmarg gondola ride was fully booked for the rest of the day. So in short, we had to spend all our time in Gulmarg merely walking around, taking selfies. Oh well.

Near the place I live I clicked this as I thought the no leaves trees and the clouds in the background would make it a nice picture
