Edge of the World

Laitlum canyons, 8-10 kms from Smit, Meghalaya, India is one of the

most surreal locations I have come across. The location overlooks a

breathtaking landscape, with a sheer drop into a gorge and the gorge

has a village deep down below with a stream flowing through. Clouds roll

at one's feet and the fog slowly pulls curtains across the valley, shutting

it away from sight. One minute a majestic scene is there right in front of

you and then whoosh it's gone, a veil drawn over it. There's a trek that

takes one down into the gorge, but that I left for another day. A friend

and fellow photographer Ujjal Borah and me made a short visit on

15.06.14 and when we reached the light was awesome, with clouds and

fog and a little sunlight filtering through. Just managed to take about 10

shots and then the fog covered everything. This scene is more a

reflection of what I saw rather than what the camera sensor captured.

Hope those who view like this and if in Shillong, India sure try to visit this

place, it sure will give you that edge of the world feeling.

I think you did a great job capturing the "edge of the world feeling" here. The light and perspective wrk well for me. I'd like to also see an image without the photographer.
