Every now and then, the buzz of everyday life becomes a little too overwhelming for me. At times like those, nothing but the quiet retreat into nature comes to my mind, where one hears nothing but the breeze blowing through the trees.
The pictures which I have taken here reflect the beauty of a serene adventure into the hills. To stand outside amidst nature, gazing at the various layers of mountains disappearing into the misty dawn, is an experience which leaves one feeling both humbled and content at the same time.
As you examine the first photo in the picture gallery, you will notice a beautiful green bush and small trees in front of you. Their foliage catches the soft rays of light, looking fresh and alive. Right behind the greenery, there is a line of pine trees growing tall as if guarding the valley.
Mountains with their massive sizes lie behind the trees and reach up to the pale blue sky. There is something of dust or mist in the air above the mountains, giving the image an aura of mystery and dreaminess. I clearly remember how I spent many minutes admiring the play of light on the mountains' edges.
On our further walk, I discovered one more interesting perspective to observe the same landscape. In this next view, we once again see the mountains; however, in this case, the picture was taken from underneath a big pine tree.
As can be seen from this picture, there are very picturesque natural frames made by green pine needles and branches on its top and sides. The sunlight shines right through the branches making the white rays shine brightly across the sky. Through this green window, one can see the far-away hills and a line of trees that calmly grow at the bottom of the valley.
Finally, in the last picture, the perspective of the observation changes a bit and now we see the beautiful flora which is growing close to the ground.
On the right side of the picture, sharp and elegant palm leaves fill the whole space of this view with green and yellow color contrasted against a bright blue sky. At the center, a beautiful tree with golden-yellow flowers/leaves grows towards the fluffy white clouds.
It made sense for me to put down the story behind the photos since they signify an entire day of utter freedom. Every time I find myself trapped within the four walls of the room or stressed with the things that I have to do, I can always think of the soothing hills surrounded by such beautiful greenery.
