@ Leh Monastery. Had hard time taking this photo, the statue was enclosed with a glass pane....
I had to go back to my guest house to bring tripod for this shot.
Leh is the capital of the Leh District of Ladakh, India. The city lies on the true right bank of the Indus River in a narrow valley north of the river at an elevation of some 3,530 m (11,581 ft.).
I photographed these drummers during the closing ceremony of the 15-day 2007 Ladakh Festival at the Leh Polo Ground. The festival is held annually in Leh and nearby venues and includes polo games, archery competitions, music concerts, Cham Dances (Mask Dances), rock climbing, river rafting and camel safaris.

Olympus OM2, Ektachrome 64, digitised by photographing the original 35mm slide on a light pad; 12mm extension tube used. Tethered capture and perspective correction in Lightroom. The verticals are as correct as I can manage - the doors and windows seem to me to be the best guide.
Leh was the historical capital of the Himalayan Kingdom of Ladakh, the seat of which was in the Leh Palace, the former residence of the royal family of Ladakh, built in the same style and about the same time as the Potala Palace in Tibet. Leh is at an altitude of over 3500m.
The royal palace, known as Leh Palace, was built by King Sengge Namgyal (1612–1642) . . . [It] is nine storeys high; the upper floors accommodated the royal family, and the stables and storerooms are located on the lower floors. The palace was abandoned when Kashmiri forces besieged it in the mid-19th century. The royal family moved their premises south to their current home in Stok Palace on the southern bank of the Indus.

The view from the rooftop was amazing, but unfortunately it was cloudly. I launched a long-exposure shot with ND filters and set up my drone for a quick flight over the Palace. 10 minutes later I realized that my long-exposure catched by surprise the only sunrays. Pure luck shot!
