## mountain weather, frame by frame.

The first pass stays wide and slow: peaks, ridgelines, stars, and the blue-black quiet of camp.

Cavalry Barracks station after the last train. Metal, light, and silence — the city pauses here.

### Golden Hour

Trees turned to silhouettes as the sun drops behind the ridge. The warmest five minutes of the day.

### Into the Fog

Somewhere between Bagdogra and Darjeeling. Trees dissolving into nothing — the deeper you go, the quieter it gets.

### Forest Road

A road disappearing into deodar forest near Naggar. Green on green, the kind of drive where you forget where you're going.

### Morning Light

Sun cutting through the haze into the valley. The village waking up below, fields glowing green.

## disconnect.

Miles from the shoreline, miles from the noise. Just a ship and the horizon.

act 04 / mosaic

## cities, summits, gardens, green hills.

The archive keeps widening: railway platforms, monuments, people at altitude, tea estates after rain.
