Hello 2019!
I've not posted anything the whole 2018. The year was a mix bag for me. I changed my job and got busy with so many other things... well.... I am now in a new job which is not very taxing and also the place I am posted in; Kalaktang, West Kameng District, Arunachal Pradesh is scenic and a serene place.
I've recently got a used Panasonic Lumix 14mm f/2.5, Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4, Panasonic Lumix Leica DG Summilux 25mm/F1.4 and Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8 Lens to go with my Olympus O-MD EM-5 Mark II.
Tenzingang is a Tibetan settlement area. Established in 1972 to rehabilitate initially 34 Tibetan refugees who came from Tibet during the Dalai Lama's exile in India.
The people living in Tenzingang are into agriculture. The land is very furtile and wet and mild climate throughout the year.
The main crop they harvest are Apple, Kiwi, Apricot, Maize & different types of vegetables. One can sea valley of cabbage plantation in the area which makes for a very picturesque scene.

This was taken pre-monsoon. The land is dry but it is being prepared for various vegetable plantation, mostly cabbage.
Another scene of the dry valley and the winding road...
A farmer's house in Kamlanchen village, near Tenzingang is situated on top of the hill. Mountain rising from deep gorge below makes for a melancholic and beautiful scene.
A home-stay in Tenzingang. Tibetans are well known for their good business and hospitality sense. So home-stay is mixture of their best attributes.

This is a traditional watermill which churns the wheel and the wheel rings the prayer bell throughout the day... Lovely...
