~ Raindance horizons ~
Paradise speedway of Ihorombe, Madagascar. I couldn’t stop for a pic so I freehanded the shot from the passenger seat.
This lens is perfect for landscape shots, just preset to infinity and expose for the sky.

An aerial shot of the Maui East Coast taken from a helicopter. The road along the coast on the right is the Hana Highway, right bottom front is the Ho’okipa beach park. On the far end toward the horizon you see the older volcano (1.32 m years old, last eruption 320,000 years ago), now the West Maui Mountains. All the greens are sugarcane plantations. Weather on the island changes quickly, Lucky to get clear skies and beautiful clouds after a heavy rains. Best viewed large – can you see the cars on the highway?

One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali – Leh highway is one that leaves you gasping for breath on all accounts…dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and motorable mountain passes in the world.

It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m/13,052ft), Baralacha La (5,045m/16,551ft), Lachulung La (5,059m/16,598ft) and Tanglang La (5,325m17,470ft). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500m/14750ft.

As the journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness. The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.
