These Breathtaking Photos Of Kashmir In Autumn Will Make You See The Real Hues Of The Valley

Amongst all the political strife and struggle, somewhere the essence of Kashmir has been lost. The toil and turmoil has taken such a great toll on the area, that even it’s astounding magnificence has been lost along the way.

Home to the wonderous Chinar trees, the Kashmir valley in autumn is a sight to behold. Maybe through these pictures, the nature enthusiast in you can finally take a breath of fresh air amongst the hustle bustle of city life.

1. The winding roads lost themselves somewhere in the woods.

2. Galloping towards the beyond!

10. At crossroads, we stood wondering if we should go right or left or continue on

11. Like elders watching over you and showering blessings as leaves.

12. Walking up and down those bumpy roads, somewhere along I got tired and took a lift.

13. The little girl giggled and the tiny one laughed, with an instrument they didn’t understand, I captured happiness.

14. The lone traveler pedals on and on to newer adventures.

15. The stream gushed and she took along with her everything that wanted to join her on her journey.

16. And with the water colours I painted a picturesque landscape almost as perfect as God’s own creation.

She smiles and your soul does not tremble, It is not love. She comes and your heart does not shine bright, It is not love. She talks and your bones do not melt, It is not love. If in her eyes you do not forget your existence, It is not love. If you cannot hear her unspoken words, It is not love. She laughs and happiness does not flow from your eyes, It is not love. . . وہ مُسکراۓ اور روح تُمہاری کانپے نہیں تو وہ محبت نہیں وہ سامنے آجایئں اور دل میں تمہارے بہار نہ آۓ تو وہ محبت نہیں اُس کی آواز سے تُمہارا جسم نہ تھرّاۓ تو وہ محبت نہیں اُس کی آنکھوں میں تم اپنی خودی نہ بھول جاؤ تو وہ محبت نہیں اُس کی خاموشیوں میں چُھپی باتیں تم نہ سُن پاؤ تو وہ محبت نہیں اُس کی ہنسی تُمہاری آنکھیں نم نہ کر دے تو وہ محبت نہیں . . Woh muskuraye aur rooh tumhari kaampe nahi Toh woh mohabbat nahi. Woh saamne aajaye aur dil mei tumhare bahaar na aaye, Toh woh mohabbat nahi. Uski aawaaz se tumhara jism na tharraye, Toh woh mohabbat nahi. Uski aankhon mein tum apni khudi na bhool jao, Toh woh mohabbat nahi. Uski khamishiyon mein chhupi baatein tum sunn na pao, Toh woh mohabbat nahi. Uski hansi tumhari aankhein namm na karde, Toh woh mohabbat nahi.

20. And the flowers bloom and the blue skies clear out, once again there is hope in the world.

You must have seen the autumn in me When your eyes met mine that night, Every flower in my garden had withered before your hands touched mine that night, Did you see how spring came to me when you whispered my name that night? Your colours spread across my skies, the darkness vanished that night. All the scattered poems on my lips one after another became yours that night. It sure was the season of magic For in autumn Yemberzal bloomed that night. You must have seen the autumn in me Oh! You garden of spring flowers! . . . #shotongh5 #kashmir #indiaphotoproject #indiapictures #mountains #valley #panasoniclumixgh5 #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #portraitphotography #_soi #love #peace #poetsofinstagram #poetry
