We stopped to watch a local ice hockey tournament in Leh, Ladakh, India. The rink was a pond with a few low boards and the players were mostly members of the Indian Army, who are posted in the areas near the Indian borders with China (Tibet) and Pakistan.
1. The rink - outdoors with a palace (Leh Palace) in the background.
2. Somehow, this is not intuitively obvious.
3. Cleaning the ice the old-fashioned way
4. Now this looks more familiar...
5. And so does this, although the boards are just a few feet / cm higher back home.
6. The ice surface was so small that the players tended to bunch up quite tightly.
7. We don't see too many Buddhist monks watching from the stands back home
8. A team photo at the end of the game!
I am a beginner photographer. Such photo essays are a great way to get a new experience and get closer to the dream of becoming a professional photographer. I go to college and because of this I have little time for my hobby. but I am buying college paper
here to have more free time. I get tired of paperwork. I hope that someday I can devote all my time to photographing.
