A Late Postcard From Ladakh
September 25th, 2009
Well, we landed in Delhi about 2 hours ago and now that we’re settled in day rooms at the hotel I can send the postcard from Ladakh that I’ve been meaning to send. I shot this at sunset in the Nubra Valley. We got spent 2 days in Hunder after driving over the highest motorable road in the world, some of us on Royal Enfield motorcycles. That’s me below on my buddy Russ’ Thunderbird at 18,500ft. It was spectactular!
The trip was so enjoyable. We’re a pretty organic tour and we limit our numbers to 8 participants; as such we operate more like a family and it’s tough to say goodbye. We saw some incredible scenery, spent time in some great monasteries, shot thousands of images, and ate some incredible food.
Special thanks to the participants that joined us, and to Ami Vitale, a lovely, vibrant photographer with no end of talent. Ami is a world class photographer and she was brave (crazy?) enough to throw in her lot with us as a special guest teacher. We had such a great time together. Also, she has a weird thing with jumping.
I’ll be showing more of my images over the coming weeks, including a desktop wallpaper for October, but the bulk of them will get stored in the secret archives and get used for the next book(s). Speaking of books, the next eBook – “TEN MORE” – will get announced in the next 12 hours of so (update: it’s now up and info is HERE).
Off to Frankfurt in 12 hours, then to Calgary, then to Vancouver, then home. Oh man, I can’t wait to get home!
hmmm i wonder if i tried too soon, it gives me a “We’re sorry” when i try checking out =P
Any prizes for first to download each eBook? hehh
Happy to see you back here. The postcard is great and I can’t wait to be in October to see the wallpaper you will post.
I wish you a nice trip home.
What a blast! Had an amazing time. First Class, David. Or Top Class
Welcome back to the cyber world, looking forward to seeing your images. I just gave it a quick glance, and 10 More looks hot! Safe trip home, David.

Can’t wait to see more shots. I’m in Leh right now. Stunning place.
Excellent shots.
Whow – especially the picture of you on the motorbike makes me miss traveling!
Hey David! Sounds like you had an awesome time. Love the postcard image! Welcome back!
Glad the trip went well! Save travels home. I believe we’ll have some rain ready for you when you get here.

David – Thanks as always for sharing a slice of your life.
How did you go from Delhi to Leh? It is not close to each other as google map tells me.
