Some images from Mussoorie and Dhanaulti, Uttarakhand.
Dhanaulti is located about 27 kilometers from Mussoorie. We visited this place in the month of March this year. We learnt that it has snowed quite a lot in Mussoorie this winter but the snow had melted long before we visited Mussoorie, however we did see small heaps of solidified snow in Dhanaulti which were still in the process of melting.

Rope-way at Sahastradhara
On the other side of Sahastradhara is a rope-way which takes tourists to the top of a mountain where there is a Sai Baba temple and a cafeteria.

This was installed at the rope-way station, what is it? I have no idea.
There are two places in Delhi I would always like to return to, one is the National Gallery of Modern Art and the other is Dilli Haat.
There are several Dilli Haats situated in various parts of the city, the main one is near INA Market and that is the one I visited. What attracts me here are the different kind of cuisines that are available, the place needs few visits in order to try out different kinds of food.
Today I have launched this blog in addition to Advertising Opinions which has been in existence for over a year.Yours Artistically is basically a photo and video blog, since I am an artist I will also cover art from time to time as well. My first post is based on my recent trip to Uttarakhand in North India, the focus is the sacred River Ganga. During this trip I also happened to visit Mussourie, I will also share some photos and video of Mussourie as well in my later post.

The taxi driver told us that the Ganga waters seen at Hari-kiPauri is actually a canal built to divert part of the Ganga waters. The original Ganga stream is what is shown above. The driver also told us that the original Hari-ki-Pauri is situated on the other side.

While clicking pictures of the Ganga in the morning at sunrise I noticed interesting cloud formations above the Shivalik mountains.
I would like to call this feather in the cap.
