The Meeting of Two Friends

Every day we meet

Yet, each meeting is special

Come rain or shine

We always have a story to share

This particular picture, I hade taken in Gangtok, the capital of the Indian state of Sikkim, sometime in December 2014. Looking outside my window, I noticed that the lights of the city were slowly fading out. The city was shutting down for the night. Gazing beyond, I looked at the mountains, in the distance. Darkness was setting in, but there was still the last glow of light on the horizon. It was as if the daylight was saying its goodbyes of the day.

                The clouds were low on the horizon, kissing the mountain peak as if suggesting the meeting of two endearing friends. This picture in low light just seemed to set alight emotions of joy and togetherness. Light adds color to a photograph when it is bright, but it adds a different dimension when it is fading away as well.
