Blue Skies of Ladakh: A Landscape Photography Series

The Western Himalayas are blessed with beautiful blue skies nearly all 365 days of the year. Its dry weather and low atmospheric water vapor levels ensures that the lighting is nearly always good here. So, be it summer or winter, the blues in the skies are a plenty.

It was such a series of blue skies that I saw when I went there on a winter backpacking expedition. These are some of the SUPER BLUE moments!

Totally dry, but still offers some colour
