gurudongmar calling!!, a photo from Sikkim, Northeast

Photographer's Note

HEY GUYZZ!! AM BACK!!
and back with the place which was my first post in TE. this is gurudongmar lake in summer. when i went here this winter it was a chilling experience. but this time it was much comfy. the air was nice. the temp was tolerably cold, but the beauty was even better than before with such crystal turquoise blue lake and a clear sky like this!! standing at almost 18000 feet, this is heaven.
ENJOY :)

Wow - great alpine scenery! The blue of the lake is just incredible, and those mountains look huge and dramatic. The light covering of snow is great too, showing the shapes of the mountains very well, and lighting the mountains so much they almost look like clouds. Excellent!

A fantastic image...such clarity and such amazing turquoise colours....I can almost taste the crisp, clean air. I like the simplicity of the composition, just the snow capped mountains and the clear lake waters....so fresh. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Sabyasacchi,

18,000 feet, that's astonishing! In that clean but rarified air, if you walk 100 meters quickly, you'll be out of breath. I climbed Mt. Ararat once, a thousand feet lower, and it was an ordeal. Four decades in the ancient past, I met the young American socialite who was about to marry the King of Sikkim. It turned out to be a disasteror for them, and for the small kingdom.

Your photo is a breath of cool air for the season upon us now.
Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Sabyasachi,
There are many beautiful snaps of this heavenly lake here in TE, and this one is one of the most beautiful snaps of the lake,if not the best one.Fantastic colours and clarity makes this stand out from the rest with great pride.The POV is excellent,I like the curve created by the shore here.One can almost feel the chill in the air.Great work.
Best Wishes,
Dhurjati

Hi Sabyasachi,
Certainly this seems to be a post card from paradise!
You got an amazing palette of blues, both in the lake and in the sky.
The snowy mountains make a great colour contrast.
I like so much this wide composition made, with a lot of depth and clear details.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Tukai,
This is as beautiful as it can get, heavenly indeed. Love the way the white mountain range is flanked by the blue lake and the even bluer sky.
Best Wishes
Sabyasachi

This looks like an absolutely fabolous place. When I went to India I wish I had more time to visit Sikkim as it seems wonderful. Thanks for showing this part of the world. So peaceful, no people, no buildings, heaveen.

Hello Sabya,

This is one of the best posts of Gurudongmar that I have seen in TE. The colours are wonderful, particularly the blue sky! Reflections are also awesome.

Truly this is heaven. Loved the colors, the deep blue sky with white mountain tops and rocks below. There are many photographs of lakes which have crystal reflection in still water. But this one seems to have little ripples so a little smudgy reflection has made this photograph more interesting and the water mysterious.
TFS.
