“Everybody is standing, but you must stand out.
Everybody is breaking grounds; but you must breakthrough!
Everybody scratching it; but you must scratch it hard!
Everybody is going, but you must keep going extra miles!
Dare to be exceptionally excellent and why not?”
― Israelmore Ayivor
I spotted this tree in Rampur Bushar, a small town in Himachal Pradesh. The region is hilly and the road I was standing on was at a higher level. The building by the side was a great comparison of the height of the tree. Don’t you think?

Trees in the hilly region really grow very tall; guess they chase the sunlight very fiercely. Most of them also grow a bit crooked, especially the pine trees. I love the contrast of colors too- orange vs the green- lovely capture Parul.

The building is almost of the same height as the tree. Although this post is about the tree, I wonder about how it is live in the hills where the buildings go from top to bottom, from the terrace to the ground floor unlike the houses in the plains. The terrace of the buildings in the hilly regions are at the road level and hence become the parking area and one has to climb down to reach the main door of the house.

Good observation. I have seen in Shimla too how people go down to get to the entrance. I think for people in such areas – this is normal. Thank you for sharing. I did not realize that part until you pointed.
Ha ha! You are funny. Isme pressure kya? You do crochet and such funny one -liners – mujhe bhi pressure feel hota hai. 😉

Fascinating, the tree versus the building. And I marvel at how you deftly captured the two together and such a towering tree.
