 Scene That...

... doesn't really need words, does it?

 Scene That...

Last week you saw Gangotri looking up the valley... I mentioned the springhead of the Bhagirathi river (and by association, the Ganges). It flows from the spout at the base of the Gangotri Glacier and that cave-like spout was likened to the mouth of a cow... cow=Go, mouth=Mukh.

This is not that... it was a trek too far for the YAMster. But this is not far from it and gives a feel for the size - though this is not yet in full low from winter melt... a little further down it gathers strength...

 Scene That...

Gangotri. Standing in the river looking toward the source. The river is the Bhagirathi - source, the Gangotri Glacier at Gomukh. It is one of the two head-waters which merge to become the mighty Ganges, the other being the Alakananda, which has its source out of the Bhagirath Glacier. Although in some ways, the Alakananda is a larger or stronger river in these upper stages, it is the Bhagirathi and its source at Gomukh that are said to be the source of Mother Ganga.

For this month - the 'Shipping by...' posts are transforming into the "Scene that..." items!

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association ground, Dharamshala. It's magnificent. Then again, with the foothills of the Himalaya for neighbours, how could it be otherwise?
