Black Trees by Ravikumar Jambunathan
This image was a sweat accident. I started early on that day in order to reach Yumthang Valley which about 20kms away.

On way, my guide stopped a small village for breakfast. After my food, I took a little walk behind the village and found these amazing tall trees with the mountain backdrop.

One the way up, I observed this beautiful synchronisation of the mountain road with the Teesta river on the bottom with majestic view of Himalayan surroundings.
