Thousands of tourists visits the kashmir valley every year and a walk by the Dal lake is always on everyone' s itenary,which every season one happens to visit. Dal lake in Srinagar ,had always fascinated me... i had the oppertunity to frame it on my lens from various angles ,in autumn season, freezing winter season but for the first time,i framed it in summer season this june....Basically , we were to drive to kargil the next day, and a bandh atmosphere was on in the valley, which is really boring to be confined within the 4 walls of the hotel room..... Both , me & my husband are early riser, just as we woke up on 18th june 2015, we quickly got ready to move to the Dal lake...... Got an auto and off we go , I was very happy to film the Dal lake at sun rise.......As we drove, the road looked deserted, hardly any vehicle, anyone walking by as we passed Lal chowk....very scarry atmosphere. Anyways, if one fear, while in Valley, they cannot see anything....& i believe in this very much .....My stay ,in J&K for last 3 yrs have made me more comfortable in such atmosphere....
We reached the Dal gate and thought to walk upto the Boulevard road end.....but the auto driver insisted us to get don at gate 3/4 instead & walk and he'll wait for us to get back to our hotel. Though, Army men were asusual around, but it was so freshening to walk by the Dal lake..... Earlier , we alway stayed in House boats , but this time preferred to stay in hotel instead.
The morning sun, just dazzled the clear waters of the Dal lake, the shikaras floating around, the boatmen busy throwing their nets, ............and above all the pollution free air, just a peaceful atmosphere..... No hussle bussle of traffic, shops all closed, few joggers during their running & few exercising in small parks by the Dal .... very pleasant sight.... We just loved it as we kept walking in the morning sun.... on the way, often I stopped a while to capture various frames that caught my sight........................ Loved it all ; hardly ,in our busy daily life we get such oppertunity to have such moments together at so much peace of mind........ Just trying to share some of my frames of the Dal lake that morning........
