Basudeb says,
“Beneath the Himalayan night sky, we find ourself in awe of the breathtaking image. Above us, the stars have choreographed a mesmerizing dance, leaving trails of radiant light that stretch across the cosmos. Before our camera, perched on a sturdy tripod, I stand in solitude, bundled up against the mountain’s biting cold.
As the stars trace their arcs, the Kanchenjunga mountain range stands tall and proud, a majestic foreground to this celestial spectacle. Its snow-covered peaks glisten faintly in the moonlight, a stark contrast to the heavenly show above.
In this solitary moment, I feel a deep connection with the universe. I am but a humble observer, capturing the grandeur of nature and the cosmos in a single frame. It’s a reminder of our enduring quest to understand and appreciate the wonders of the universe. In this image, I’ve frozen time, uniting the beauty of nature and the dedication of an astrophotographer, telling a story that transcends the boundaries of time and space.”
