Yaks in Ladakh

Yaks are long haired and the coat is thick to protect them from the cold. It is a type of bovine found in the Himalayas and also in the high altitude regions of Mongolia and Russia. Yaks are heavier than cattle, and have short legs. They have been domesticated. In the wild they are herd animals and the wild yaks are an endangered species.

The yaks in these photos are domesticated animals used to ferry tourists. The pictures are short in Ladakh. This first one is a white coloured yak.

This is a long haired black yak with a saddle for riding.

Lake in Ladakh - Pangong Tso

Pangong Tso is a lake in the Himalayas and these are views of the lake from Ladakh in India. It borders not just India  but also Tibet and China. It freezes in winder although it is saline water. Apparently there is no aquatic life here although presence of  birds is seen. A number of migratory birds come here to nest.

These are photographs of the lake with blue skies as the background. The mountains are silhouetted against the sky and the blue waters of the lake are in the foreground. The first picture can be used as a header, as it is a stitched picture of two images, giving a panoramic view of Pangong Tso lake.

Snow-capped mountains can be seen in the background. A rough stony lake bank.

The water is so clear that the pebbles on the river bed are visible. Gray pebbles.

In this picture of the Ladakh lake the is a lone motorcyclist riding on the banks of the lake.

This is a serene nature scene. The waters of the lake are still. This area is very serene and still

Photos of the mountains of Ladakh

These are photographs of the mountains in Ladakh, which is a region in Jammu and Kashmir, the northernmost state in India. This region has the Kunlun mountain range to its north and the Himalayas to the south of it. Large tracts of Ladakh are a high-altitude desert  but there is vegetation near its lakes and areas where it snows and ofcourse man-made vegetation. 

You can see a road snaking its way across the blue mountains.

A closer look at the slopes of Ladakh. The sparse vegetation on the mountains makes their surface rocky and hard. There is hardly any grass or water nearby.

Some snow-topped mountains in Ladakh with a foreground of trees.

The dusty bare brown mountains of Ladakh. The terrain can be quite harsh.

How to make paan in pictures

Paan is made of different flavourings inside a rolled betel leaf. These flavourings consist of  finely chopped betel nut, slaked lime paste and saffron, spices and gulkand are used. This is considered "a breath freshener, and for better digestion. 

This picture shows a man lathering a paste on to the betel leaf with his hand.

It can be a little messy doing it by one's hand.

A brush can be used too, for hygienic purposes.

Chopped supari or betel nut alongwith condiments and spices is put on the leaf.

The paan is being rolled up to serve customers.

London Eye Sketches, Silhouettes and Illustrations

These are sketches, silhouettes and illustrations of the modern monument in London in the United Kingdom - the London Eye. The landmark structure gives you a bird-eye view of London from all directions for around 40 kms and it's quite fun actually. This Ferris wheel is on the banks of the River Thames and almost 500 feet high. It's the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, and gives a panoramic view of London as it spins in slow motion.

The large ferris wheel has many capsules which carry people and the first sketch is a close-up of one such capsule and each capsule weighs 10 tonnes and can accommodate at least 20 people. The total number of capsules are 32, elegantly designed.

This is the sketch of the actual giant wheel with the capsules perched on it. A hit with tourists.
