Himalya through my eyes
by Amit Vakil
The Himalayas, or Himalaya, is a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau. The range has many of Earth’s highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest (Nepal/China). The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 m (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks. The picture was taken during a flight from Delhi to Leh August 2019. I was mesmerized to see the picturesque landscape through the window of the plane. I deliberately put my lens to close to the glass of the window to get rid of glass scratches and waited for the best composition to work for me. This is one of the shots of twenty seven total shots I clicked off the mighty Himalayas that day.
