SCAPE-SCOUTING #1 (Pilot/Teaser post) : Snow peaks (Free High Resolution Photos) !!
Hey Folks ,
So i have decided to do a series to quench my travel journal-ing & blogging thirsts. I love exploring different "scapes". Landscapes or city-scapes or even ocean-scapes (if that's a word).
So far, i have experienced stories , clicked thousands of photographs and some short videos of various treks ( 30+ ) in the Himalayan and trans-Himalayan region of North India and Nepal. Apart from this i have also been a student in Scotland , and visited a lot of the islands around the Scottish mainland as well. I am only 29 years old now and hopefully have a LOT more such travels in my life-journey up ahead.
I have seen some absolutely mind-blowing scenery , and thats what im mostly after. I am also interested in Painting landscapes , which is what got me started with photography for collecting reference images.
Here are some of the best snow peak views i have experienced in my life so far ! Makes me feel very grateful about everything !!

These pics don't do justice to the actual places and the experiences i had. Every trek that i have taken so far , has increasingly become grander. I always take at least 150+ pics every trip, and i have a LOT to say and share too.
In this Pilot post , I want to simply provide a little teaser of the best snow peak views that i have personally experienced.
A LOT of the stories that make me who i am , come from these travels and adventures i have had. A sneak peak about what else this series will have in the future for its audience can be seen on this blog post ; Who am I ?
