“Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.” -- Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
I took this picture during the Hampta Pass trek in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, in the lower Himalayas. It was Aug 1 2016, my milestone 50th birthday. Our camp site was on a gently sloping hill next to a stream that flowed downstream into a river. I setup my Nikon D7100 on a tripod, and started taking long exposure shots, while standing gazing at the water. It was quite a magical moment for me, and I was in a perfect place to mark my milestone. :-)
Thanks,
Mahesh
