Description

An abandoned building in old Leh town, after effects of a devastating cloudburst that triggered flash flood, mudslides and debris flows had caused extensive damage to life, property and infrastructure in this town in the recent past.
As I was standing there, I had mixed feelings of being able to capture this incredible view and at the same time feeling for the people who suffered so much. More of this place in September.
