Maha Ganesh Top
by RajeevKashyap
Photographic Art
Location: Maha Ganesh Top, 2010
Canon 40D
Lens Canon 17-85mm.
This location is called Maha Ganesh Top. On the entire route for Amarnath Yatra all the names of mountain peaks are named after deities of the family of Lord Shiva. Approximate height of this place is over 14500 feet above sea level. Dipping mercury and oxygen levels makes it hard for people to breath there. But the place is so beautiful that one doesn’t feel disheartened. After all faith in God always help, the pilgrims claim. This route is open till August 9 . On the day of Rakhi festival this route will be closed for pilgrims and other tourists.
This image is my Amarnath Yatra 2010 during Trip.

Karijini National Park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia is a stunningly beautiful place with strong Aboriginal history and spirituality. This photo was taken standing near Oxer Lookout, looking back over Knox Gorge. I was captivated by the colour of the white bark of the ghostgum against the green spinifex and the vivid red earth.

After the sun went over the horizon, these white sand dunes (near Cervantes in Western Australia) went though an incredible colour-show, transforming through white and pink and mauve to peachy-apricot before finally fading into the darkness….
