About the Image(s)

The Old Castle is located on top of a hill overlooking the city of Leh, the capital of Ladakh. Constructed of rammed earth wall and sun-baked bricks, during the reign of King Tashi Namgyal in the 16th century CE, the red and white Old Castle was the earliest royal residence of the Namgyal dynasty. I like this perspective-uncorrected wide-angle view because it gives an idea of the steep climb leading up to the castle. Shot with my Vivo V23e 5G phone @ 2 mm. f/2.2 @ 1/1431 sec. ISO: 105.
