Misty Mountains …
The mist of the Yellow Mountains
This is Huangshan known as the Yellow mountains highly praised by poets and painters throughout the centuries. I have always wanted to visit this place and here I am … The scenery is beautiful with fabulous sunset and sunrise. An inspiring landscape of granite peaks surrounded by the unique Huangshan pine trees. I was quite lucky to catch a glimpse of the mist descending the mountains just before dawn. These images are taken with a Canon film camera using my favourite Ilford Delta 400. A little grainy but that is the beauty of black and white film negative shots …
As the sun rises illuminating the dark corners of the mystic mountains …
A memorable journey just like how I would imagine and staying a night on the summit is a must to catch the first sun rays at dawn …
