Your floating dreams ..

It is the specialty in Srinagar in Kashmir. There are hundreds of houseboats lined up at the edge of the lake. The tourists spent a night or two in these luxurious hotels on water with the beauty of the snow capped mountains surrounding the lake, perhaps moving on to hotels on land to spend rest of their stay. I had spent 2 days in one of these houseboats and I experienced moments of great ecstasy. This how the row of houseboats glitter in the lake water at night. This photograph was taken in Srinagar on 4th November 2012 ...

The Natives of Pinatubo

Following us on the trek to the top of Mt. Pinatubo crater are two natives aetas who earned their living by selling bottled water and soda in between stops of a two hour hike. While we are panting and gasping for breath, with our light backpacks and a camera, these two natives walk so cool with the big loads at their back, jumping from one rock to the other barefoot.

Serenity Above a Boiling Crater

The waters are lukewarm but the sands are hot....this is the crater of Mt. Pinatubo that erupted 21 years ago after 400 years being dormant. You can swim in the water but just make sure you don't touch the ground....

Beauty from the Blast

21 years after the eruption of a 400-year dormant volcano, Mt. Pinatubo, rose this beautiful green lake right in the crater. To reach this place is a journey into the rivers, rocks and mountains formed from the lava of the volcano. It was a journey I will never forget.
