Pangong Tso

(ISO 100, f/8, Shutter Speed 1/800 sec)

A panoramic view of Pangong Tso (Lake) near India-Tibet border. Pangong Tso is 154 Km long and 4 Km wide at its widest point. 1/3 of Pangong lies in India and 2/3 of it lies in China (Tibet). Spangmik, where we stayed for the night in camps is the last point till where civilians are allowed. Infact, China invaded India through this front in 1962 and the road to Lake still passes through un-removed mine fields. It is the biggest lake in Ladakh region and largest brackish water lake in world. Another fact : the water changes it's color every hour in shades of blue.

This pic was created by joining 5 photos. Post-processing include contrast and sharpness increase. I would be posting few more panoramas in coming weeks. In case, you are wondering what's up with me and Panoramas, maybe you can credit that to the person (who has taken one of the best panoramas, i have ever seen) who inspired me towards taking up photography.
