Photo Of The Day: Warming Up Around A Fire In The Mountains Of India

by Anna Brones (RSS feed) on Feb 10th 2013 at 5:00PM

Somewhere at the core of every human being is a pull to a fire. We are drawn to that place where we sit as a tribe around a source of warmth, sharing stories and building connections. That spirit is embodied in this photo by Flickr user arunchs, who snapped this scene of three men in Zanskar, a valley region in eastern India where nighttime temperatures can reach upwards of 20 below zero.

Maybe this is why we travel. Why we circle around a table with new friends. Why we gather around a group of street performers. No matter where we find ourselves, we are drawn to shared experiences, be it around a fire, a meal or simply a map.

Zanskar is not in eastern India. The location is incorrect. Zanskar is in fact a sub dist. of Kargil in the eastern half of Jammu and Kashmir in in North India.
