Photos by Sachin of a 10 day rafting trip on Colorado river through Grand Canyon.

The days were so gloriously full of activities from 5 a.m. onwards - cowboy style coffee, near gourmet meals, fast and furious rapids, exploring the canyons, an occasional hike or two, exchanging stories of other adventures… Nights on the other hand fell rapidly in the canyon. By 8:00 p.m., there was nothing to see but the stars. And what a lot of them there were. I am a city bred. Sights like the milky way are things I had read in a book until then.

locomotoring > Recently came across: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2192471/Theres-clouds-dull-grey-white-fluffy-These-incredible-pictures-variety-sky.html Based on the website description, noctilucent clouds are crystals of ice hanging around 80km high in the atmosphere that catch the light of the sun long after it has set on the horizon. The cloud in this image was formed from the exhaust of a missile launched from a distant firing range. We were parked close to a US army base for the night on our way to Grand Canyon.
