Teesta River

Although I spend a lot of time taking photographs, rare are the times when I become trigger happy and get into a shooting spree. But in my recent two-day visit to Sikkim on an invitation from Club Mahindra, that’s just what I did. Some views along the way and the play of mist in the valleys was so beautiful that I could just not stop shooting.

Here is a picture Teesta River, taken on the way from Gangtok to Bagdogra. We were running short of time to catch our flight from Bagdogra, but could not help stopping on the way as often as possible. We stopped briefly to get one of the best views of the river as were crossing a bridge. I was looking at the river for a while, thinking how beautiful can the Himalayas get, and was lost in thoughts for a moment. After a while, I suddenly realized that I should be taking a photograph. In a few seconds, I had pulled out the camera from the bag, went click-click for another few seconds and returned to admiring my view. Here is one of those images.
