    Gorgeous blues, Vikram…..is this salt water? Looks like it with the foam on the beach.

  • Thank you Wendi – I don’t think it’s salt water as it’s fed by mountain streams. Didn’t look like detergent pollution either as this is a pretty difficult area to access and I didn’t see anything to lead me to believe it is. Think it might have been the wind screaming down the valley.

    This don’t look like a “short trek” to me… ;-) Another beautiful shot Vikram.

  • Thank you so much my friend. It was a short 4 hour trek while my better half was fast asleep in the afternoon.
