22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
To the fading Skies : Gentle Giants

walking the way upwards , climbing through steep ways and various stairs, cutting our way through bushes and passing through many villages , we finally reached in the abode of Himalayas where resides this Forest of Pine tree. Usually brightened up with year around sunlight. This wasn't the case when we arrived. It was monsoon season and whole area was filled with fog and mist because of passing clouds. As we were high in the mountains. These gentle giants were more than shelters. One could feel the warmth and comfort around these majestic beings.
