Men and Mountains

Last week we shared our story 'Boulders Speak' (click here if you missed browsing it). Many of you loved the story. Thanks for your feedback.

Talking of boulders, hills and mountains, it is always great to be out on a hike. The picture below was shot in California USA while hiking in Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve near Davis. Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve is a unique partnership between the Forest Department and University of California Davis. More on this partnership in some other story.

William Blake's golden words "Great things are done when men and mountains meet" make the picturesque quote (PQ). This quote in no manner dilutes the capability of women! Probably, 'greater' things can happen when women and mountains meet!

Other PQs on related themes posted earlier include:
Be like Water
Rivers and human beings
Learning patience from Nature

The next story will take you to a Tiger Reserve in central India.
Bye till then.

Thanks for browsing.

When Men and Mountains Meet

Summer is the best time for hiking, trekking or mountaineering. It is vacation time for schools and colleges.
Go climb a mountain.
Or, just trek in a forest.
Or, if possible, camp in a jungle for a night-- with a camp fire.
You will remember it for years.

Resuming our series on Picturesque Quotes (PQs), here are two pictures of a hike in California last summer.
Both pictures convey different emotions. Enjoy.

And the famous line by William Blake on men and mountains.

More PQs will follow.
Few PQs from our earlier collection-- just click the links below:

Life is like a bicycle 
Rose petals teach us...
Dance is discovery
Mist and mountain

Do share your experiences of a hike whether in the Himalayas, Nilgiris, Ladakh or elsewhere.

Thanks for browsing.
