Hi Amit
magnifique photo, les couleurs sont superbes. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'explications. Bravo quand même.

A wonderful picture - but with no note sadly. We cannot make sense of a place without knowing the local context. The snow-capped mountain is spectacular and the shade of the water is quite unusual; is it because of pollution or is that the natural color of the water? Well done, but we need more info.
