Description

Ladakh, September 15.

I was up there on the other side of the mountain slope to catch the magical sight of 1st light falling on this oldest monastery in that region, it was a bitterly cold, windy early morning and I guess even the Sun wanted to take it easy and didn't show up at the right time and right place :-)
Learning : Next time I go back there, need to allocate 2 days ...lol

Sun or not it is a gorgeous capture!!! The road leading to the monastery looks a little rough, would not want to make the trip in snow. #11538148
