Autumn Forest Aerial Over Winter Wadis in Manipur

Golden and rust-colored canopy patches spread across a dense deciduous forest, viewed from directly above. Below the tree line, dry wadis carve pale beige paths through sandy dune fields, their geometric ridges highlighted by low afternoon sun. A thick layer of white mist hovers just above the ground, softening the transition between the forest edge and the arid plains. The contrast between the vibrant foliage and the stark, dry earth creates a distinct pattern of natural and human-altered landscapes. Shadows stretch long across the dunes, showing the undulating terrain beneath the fog. One cluster of bright orange leaves rests against the grey mist at the forest boundary.
