Nature's Colours in a Chilling Weather
The picture was clicked at an elevation of 3557 m, at a mountain top known as the 'Balpata' located in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It shows cracked ground with some fungus, thriving in a cold environment. Perhaps, the spot was covered with snow some hours ago, just like the surrounding space (not visible in this picture).
