Nice photos. You might want to reduce the saturation a little bit - just my opinion.

Very nice one Amp. Reminds you of the good old native places with farms and close knit communities. A great respite from the towering concrete jungles we are saddled with now.

Thanks Yogi. The best part I realised is there are many such places which are blessed with simplistic pleasures of life. And its for us to discover them.

Sometimes my only worry (or concern) is; publicising such places, do we do them an injustice? But never the less as you said, it is beautiful to savour these moments.

At the base of the Himalayas. Caught this last summer. Sorry about the flair but the view was superb & cropping will not help either

We visited the Sinhgad Fort near Pune over the weekend. The climate on top of the fort was just AMAZING! Dense fog, cold wind, lush green landscapes and not much of rain. Attaching some random selected pics from the short trip.

The visibility on the road was pretty low near the top few KMs

The quintessential snack - "Khekda Bhaji". Khekda = Crab and Bhaji = Pakoda... Crab shaped pakoda. The red chutney is actually the most tasty preparation here, explosive but damn tasty.

The noise can't be helped, shot at high ISO using a D90.
