Dear Pankaj, I had lot of images in my mind ... of the hima-kund - all based on your picture of the lake that you showed us some time back. It was a rainy day; it was white-out near the temple. Clouds fogged the area for a long time. Some early birds could get to see the temple and the lake to some extent. Thus missed the flora, and the splendid landscape at the top. Forced myself to get the camera out in the rain during the return journey - starting with the *brahmakamal*.
Yet to upload those flora pics (VoF, Hemkund Sahib, Mana); in process. Regards.
