THE GAME

How would you feel if all the clouds descend on earth right now?!!
It was about 5 am in the morning and everything was engulfed by the huge stretch of fog. The moment I opened the balcony door, i could see some fog entering and it was creepy. The night was very cold and we were hoping for some sunlight.
Whatever, I always like to explore around. Near about 5.30am, went outside along with my brother. Odds were getting even as it was extremely foggy but also windy, which is a rare case. Slowly, we vanished into the mist. Father stayed at the inn. Walking briskly for about half an hour through the mist was a feeling of another kind. The sound of the wind and the fog moving along with it creates an awesome sensation. As if the wind found a body ..... As if you could see the wind and its movement.
Finally, came up to Lava Monastery located amidst the hills. It was about 6.45 am and its starting to clear up. The monks were doing there daily chores and greeted us with a smile. Dressed in orange and red in the white fog, gave an amazing view. There is also a small school here and the students were starting to show up.
We decided to go up to an elevated platform in the monastery. The path was a bit muddy due previous nights rain. Small birds fluttering here and there but silently. It was as if they were concealing themselves in the silence of the mist. Now the sky is getting clear and i could see a light yellowish hue. So decided to hurry to the top and got struck by the game. The game played by light and mist. For sometime we just stood there and thus missed my chance to get the rays. My lens was not a wide angle one but i wanted to include all of it. So, shot multiple shots while panning slowly and made a small panorama which gives a more wide angle perspective.
