Towards "Shangri-La"

We are heading towards "Shangri-La". We can't wait to reach to snowy mountain looming ahead, beckoning to us.

 

Shangri-La has become a symbol for Oriental exoticism.The myth of Shangri-La was born in 1921 with the novel by James Hilton "Lost Horizon". where he he describes a paradisiacal place in the foothills of the Himalayas isolated from the outside world where people lived a harmonious and happy life. Several places in India, Pakistan, Tibet and China claim to have inspired James Hilton.

Thanks for viewing & feedback.

Cherlyn, a superbly composed landscape with the road leading the viewer to the sky and mountain. I very much like the dashes of sunlight in the mid-ground.

Preciosa.Estupenda composicion,con una luz y tonos sensacionales.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Lovely scene, dear Cherlyn. Excellent vertical composition with a delight of clouds, colors, light and atmosphere. Very good photograph! Congrats!

Beautiful! I love the golden lighting.

Very balanced: light and shadow both above and below; the green foliage with that turning yellow; the open space with fence--the road as a metaphor for life just at the bend, transporting us to the unknown.

That is some great light captured to be sure!

Wonderful light and composition. I especially enjoyed the commentary.
