Langtang - Where Silence Has a Shape // Monomad Challenge

There are some places where the colour feels almost unnecessary.

"One of them is Himalaya "

On the trails, I usually find myself surrounded by colours - All those deep valleys, blue skies, brown trails and even the deep green hills which disappear into the Himalayas with brilliant white snow.
But I took the colours away- Black. White and everything in between.

Suddenly the mountains looked different.

This is my entry for #monomad challenge. I photographed these picture on the way to Langtang Valley, Nepal.

Langtang National Park, Nepal

In colour, these landscape can feel overwhelming but in monochrome, they looked much quieter. The absence of colour made my eyes wander towards the things that I might look on - texture of mountain's face, curved trails and even tiny figures beneath the sky.

Himalaya was constantly changing. All the clouds were passing over the ridge where entire landscape changed. Sunlight touched one mountain while other disappeared into shadows.

Light became the subject.

Grey clouds

Deep shadows

Bright ridges

White snow

Himalaya began to look almost like sketches.

After all these photographed captured, I couldn't completely capture one thing. That is SILENCE . But it removed the noise of colour and left behind something quieter like shapes, texture, light and shadows.
These photographs are my attempts to remember the Himalaya as a collection of quiet moments.
