Since the time I came back from Binsar, a few of my friends noted after seeing the images that I take a lot of images of mountain ridges fading far into the sky.
I indeed do. It’s an obsession that started nearly five years ago with a failed attempt in Thadiyamdamol and continued with boulderscapes of Hampi where I shot a picture that I love.
Compiled here are all such images.
Thadiyandamol
One more from Thadiyandamol

Hampi
Binsar
One more from Binsar
A slightly different kind of image from Nandi Hills, but I like to see it along with the above photos.
Being on the move, it is not rare for me to get into situations where I am lost or in some sort of minor trouble. But there are almost always some people – often strangers – to the rescue. One such incident is from recent Binsar trip. I would narrate the whole story, but the job is already done. Go here, read how a stranger on a scooter saved us from missing the train.
So where are you going this winter?
Unless something comes up, this winter for me is confined to short visits to a few places in South India, most of places that I have already visited. Dandeli, Hampi, Gokarna, Kanyakumari to name some. There are some vague plans to spend 10-15 days in Madhya Pradesh covering Orchha, Jabalpur, Khajuraho, Chitrakoot and Pachmari, but the plan is still in its early stages.
