The beauty of mountains is that they show so many faces in such little space. We were on a sunny mountainside topped with tufts of dry grass. Then we crossed over a saddle-point on a ridgeline, and this was the new view.

I’m back from my wanderings in Himachal Pradesh with a boatload of pics and experiences. The highlight of the trip was the Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP.) I’ve attached some sunset pics taken at a cliff near our campsite at Dhel. I’d highly recommend GHNP… unless you’re one of those asshats who strews his garbage randomly or who likes to carve his name or initials in anything and everything–living or stone. (In which case, kindly please stay home in your trailer and watch you satellite TV. You wouldn’t like it at all.)

This 1.2 hectare (3 acre) banyan tree sits 28 kilometers (17.4mi.) to the west of Bangalore. The tree suffered root rot in the last decade and doesn’t display the lush, unified canopy as it once did. (I’m not certain whether the damage to the tree was completely natural, was tied to Bangalore’s precipitously rising pollution, or whether the true culprits are all the jackasses who feel the need to carve their initials in the tree’s roots.) However, the giant banyan is still home to many macaque families, and even as it is dying from within the tree is attempting to escape over its’ fence onto adjacent lands.
