Nope, it's Nallah/Nullah in proper pahari bhasha!

I drove to Ladakh in my Maruti Esteem. Had an adventure in Morey Plains which resulted in my clutch plate weakening badly by the time we crossed Pagal Nallah. Not to be more adventurous, I decided to leave Pangong for some other day and get back to a mechanic pronto.

Yup, Rudra's B&W have that black tough. Moreover with a polarizer, you easily get those dark skies!

I use a 350D.
The photos were retouched by Rudra sen in photoshop.
As for me, I use Canon DPP + GIMP for post processing.

GIMP in Linux? Does Canon DPP have a Linux version?

Nope, GIMP in windows. As for DPP in linux, I once made it run over wine, but there were glitches here and there.
