The Himalaya. Apparently there is actually no plural of the Himalaya as it is a mountain range, and therefore singular. I am here in Landour, near Mussoorie, just past Dehra Dun. Chris and his wife Shaila, with baby Will, are here for Hindi language training to be better able to conduct her PhD research.


Their house is nestled in the mountains where it seems that every millisecond the landscape changes. Its monsoon in India, but we have been fairly lucky with the rains mostly coming at night. Though on my first night here I woke up in a panic as the sheet lightening was incredibly scary and the rains were pounding on the tin roof. We've been taking lots of walks and I just continue to remain captivated at the absolutely awe-inspiring images here. Hope my camera has been able to do the scenes justice!
