Mountains of the Nilgiris — ramya's photo journal

Mountain Diaries

These mountains have a special place  in my heart in a nostalgic way and also as a matter of concern as to how best their fragile

eco systems and natural beauty can be preserved. We all have places that we love, that soothe our souls and comfort those aching

nerves. This place is one such to me. The mountains of the Nilgiris. This is my attempt at bringing the place closer to you all through

these personal visual notes I make as I see and feel the place. I hope these notes convey the love, the tenderness and an ethereal quality

that exists in the spirit of these hills. And it is a beginning of sorts for me in this endeavor of spreading a message. Please click on the

Happened to stumble upon this website while looking for a few images from India. I couldn’t stop looking admiringly at most of the

photographs and presentation here. Kudos to the great captures and work on here.

Stumbled upon this website while looking at list posted on John Paul Caponigro’s newsletter. You are an amazing photographer.

The mood in this image speaks volumes.
