Hi Zahoor,
This picture is a delight. I love the soft light and the pastel colours. The trees against the foot of the mountain make one realise of how awe inspiring the landscape must be. TFS.
Best wishes,
Izabela

Hello Zahoor
Beautiful mountain scenery. The vegetation adds nice colours to the otherwise barren landscape. Well composed, using the road as a lead into the impressive landscape. Very nice work! TFS. Have a nice day.
Best regards, Erling

This is a dreamy shot - though perhaps being dreamy doesn't quite seem the mood when you are there.
Lovely colours, the red shrubs really lift the grey tones. It looks an exciting place to visit, and the curve of the road, and the twist round the spur to the right really makes me curious...
you have found some lovely moody light.
TFS

Inspiring ! The White-Brown Mountains, the Blueish Road & the Red Shrubs along the Road - You give me reason & pride enough to remain a traveller taking photographs, rather than a photographer travelling !
Thanks.
