In the hills I love the mist and the fog

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23240) 17 Jan 25

During this period the hills are filled with mist and fog. The morning and the evening are really beautiful. Whereever there are forests there are even beautiful scenes. There is a lovely smell of the mist of the winter.

In the mountains the sun sets early.

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23240) 22 Jun 23
