Darjeeling is a wonderful place, but the drive to get to it forms my most abiding memory. There may be other, easier ways, but I did it by jeep. There’s no public transport as such, but the Mahindra Jeeps come close. They’re very distinctive, with their headlights very close together. I did the 4 hour journey very early, and it looked like a long line of ants snaking up the ever-bending hill.
Not mine, but here’s a youtube video of the type of thing.
It was an evocative journey and I can still remember the Deep House music I was listening to. This week’s track is inspired by that journey.
I come back for the music, but I really enjoy your images as well. Thanks for posting and I hope you are enjoying your journey.
That’s my pleasure Mike. In my more optimistic moments I hope that the images and sound combine to form something beautiful. I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey too.
