BOUQUET OF SPLENDOUR

Most Of India is Scorching with temperatures ranging  well over 40 degrees Centigrade ( 104 degrees Fahrenheit).

Am treating myself and all the readers to the Cool and Wonderful Splendour of the Himalayas while  The Indian Sub Contintent sizzles in preparation for the arrival of The Monsoons. ( translated for the uninitiated it means Bushels of Rains or the Rainy Season)

Presenting a Bouquet of the Splendour of Sun and Shadow in the Himalalyas.

The Grassland in the foreground adds to  the Beauty of the Snow Clad Mountains.

Parched Indian Plains seek Dense Clouds laden with Moisture.

Where else will you find such an Enchanting Bouquet of Splendour but in Ladakh,India.
