Recently travelled from jammu to the valley in a car. Virtigo made me stop at a place near the jawahar tunnel first view point of the valley. Well actually many a times had thought to stop over at this place but during most of my visits crossing the tunnell was a presssing issue because most of the times I would have to cross it at odd hours. Anyways today was a day and luckyly I made the spot. This is a wonderful view point and gives a view of a large area of the valley; actually the feel of the fact that Kashmir is a valley is acquired the best from this view point. I tell you one doesnt get this feel even from Affarwat because the view gets somewhat blocked their. I visited in winter but I think the best views must be those of the spring , summer and autumn; the spring would bring out a combination of gold and green as the mustard sown in the fields grows by then and gives a golden hue to the landscape, the summer would present an expanse of green with paddy field full of green sapling and the autumn would present a yellowish expanse with the paddy having grown ripe by then.
On the same day I clicked a couple of shots while the sun was setting. This was while I was travelling from khanabal to bhijbehara and the speed of the car was about 90 kms per hour. Well I liked the results hope you like them too. See below.
