Two school kids walking home in the mountainous town of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India. These kids live amidst ubiquitous tea fields and beautiful himalayan peaks in the distance. The mountain visible on the horizon is Kangchendzonga (or Khangchendzonga depending on who you ask), the third tallest mountain in the world (Mount Everest is farther west). This region of India is quite distinct since it lies so close to Nepal.

I have never seen such a beautiful depiction of my hometown. I too try to give it a few shots, but I just know how to aim and shoot. You must be lucky with the weather too. Great pic!

@Richard - Thanks for the comment.
@Benoy - Wow, great to hear from a Darjeeling resident! Yes, we were very fortunate with the weather, especially since we only had 1 overnight. I definitely need to go back.
Thanks, Mom!

What an amazing scene, the mountains well off in the background, rising above the clouds, are just spectacular in providing depth to the scene.
