The world according to ........

Some more photographs of the flora of the Himalayas by blogger friend Sangeeta Khanna. From her Kullu-Khardung La MTB Cycle expedition for Girls.

Have a look at the entire collection here.

And then come back and wonder about these mosses and lichens growing on the flat rocks, in the stark stony wilderness.

In patterns, that tell how the world was , as seen from the Ro0f of the World, the Himalayas, with maps in orange and yellow, long before we appeared .......

Rock of the ages,
bearing clues
as it lies
ensconced
starkly facing the elements,
in the mighty
panorama of the North.


Be it in patterns of
lichen or moss,
Be it flat or round,
Like Gallileo said,
or Mr Thomas Friedman,
they
tell the story
of a world as it was,
as it is,
and as
it is likely to be.

The legend in yellow and orange...
If we only looked.
