A couple of Ladakh photos; Bombay at night
A couple of photos from my Ladakh trip. The first one is from the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers -- a spot called the "Sangam" (meeting):
And here is a shot from Pangong Lake, in eastern Ladakh. This area is only about 30 km (20 miles) from the border with China:
The lake is clear and blue; it's a remarkable sight in the midst of the barrenness of Ladakh. At about 15,000 feet above sea level, it's also quite cold. The army guys said the temperature is -2 degrees C -- possible because of the water's high salinity level.
Finally, a couple of photos of Bombay at night. This is a view of Chowpatty beach from Malabar Hill:
And one more. This is the Marine Drive "necklace":
In the distance you can see the Air India building and the Oberoi/Hilton Towers.
I have high resolution versions of all these photos that I can't post. If you'd like me to send one to you, let me know.

The water was high in saline? Do you know why? Is there a lot of salt there? Was this water once part of the sea before the collision? Soemthing else?
Love the pics. Post more!! Post more!! Ladakh looks beautiful, but i am more of an urban girl and seeing the pictures of Mumbai made my heart race and wish i was there.
Stunning. I'm opposite of PhDiva; the first two photos had my heart melting. What an exciting trip to get to see all these things!

the pics from Ladakh bring back memories of the veggie truck I took from Manali to Leh. Beautiful landscape but what I remember most was the smell from the chilli bag I had to sit on for a whole day...mmmmm chillies
