With all my preconceived notion of Ansel's perspective of the Yosemite I arrived at Yosemite quite disappointed. The weather forecast broke my heart. I had made preparations for months in advance and traveled all across the continent to find Yosemite in Rain. Yet I went to the famous Tunnel View point and slowly parked my car in an empty parking lot deserted by other disappointed tourists. And just when I gave up all hope, Yosemity displayed itself with all its beauty.

Situated on the banks of river Ganga, Varanasi is considered as the gateway to Moksha (The end of the cycle of birth, death and re-birth). Legend has it that if the dead is cremated on the ghats (steps) of the Ganga at Varanasi the soul attains Moksha. The city is theatric, not only culturally but also visually. It is almost a living & breathing museum.
