POPSView of Ancient Silk Route, Ladakh by Subhash Ranjan Copyright: Subhash Ranjan (sranjan) Silver Note Writer (129) Genre: Places Medium: Color Date Taken: 2007-04-16 Categories: Transportation Photo Version: Original Version Date Submitted: 2007-05-21 11:49 Viewed: 26 Points: 0 Photographer's Note This serpiginious road is the famous ancient silk route which connected central Asia with India for trade purpose once upon a time. It is believed that Buddhism travelled all the way to China & SE Asia via this route. One can still find Mongolian double hump bactrian camels in Nubra valley on this route. This picture has been clicked from the altitude of 17,000 feet above sea level on our way to Khardung La highest motorable pass on the silk route. Far is the Leh valley with Zanskar mountain ranges at horizon.

POPShttp://www.hitech-soft.com/blog/archives/25 Pixia is a free painting and photo finishing tool originally created in Japan by Isao Maruoka. There it quickly became rather popular and after some time there appeared versions of the program in other languages including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (simplified form), Polish and Hungarian. Now there is a rather big circle of Pixia fans who help to develop Pixia, create filters and masks for it, as well as plugins.
