clouds ablaze in the sun’s last light
dress for the evening
my dear
for thee i wait
(clouds ablaze in the sun’s last light)
drama of clouds in evening light
spills oh how
sun’s orgasm
a mountainside
(drama of clouds in evening light)
(grass stalks shimmering in the evening light)
gather light
in a forest
lit by sun’s fire
(grass stalks shimmering in the evening light)
the setting sun paints a peak as the moon looks on
take keys for the night
i bid adieu
you lonely moon
(the setting sun paints a peak as the moon looks on)
(clouds glow in the dying light of evening)
playing lava
clouds do
crown a hill
(clouds glow in the dying light of evening)

Dwarfed by the intimidating spectacle of water and rocks, the human figure can do one of two things. Revere and respect the land or abuse it with mindlessness. For any farmer, to till land is to love it…and we as visitors must not, at any costs, flaw the vista with carelessness and refuse.

The Spiti asses are dwarfs. Yet their capability to carry loads at altitudes of 18,000 Ft. and above is phenomenal. Being the chief cargo vehicle in such inhospitable terrain, they are indispensable. One, having lugged our load all day, takes his meal next to a fresh water spring.

Working as if on a gameplan, the sun and the clouds over Tso Moriri orchestrate a parody of nature’s delightful whims. A patchwork of light and shadow is simply a moment’s play.

Clouds of Tso Moriri lead the sun in for a moment.
To let it play with the shadows
…linger for a while around its shore.
In a moment, time will take
wind’s hand and change forever.
