This is a site on the main road between Lower and Upper Shillong.During months of autumn,  lines of Cherry Blossoms on one side of road and thick Pine trees on the opposite side turns the area into a blazing spectacle of colours that is very difficult to miss as one travels to Cherrapunjie, the abode of clouds. I was struck by sheer beauty of this site as I was driving back to Guwahati from Eastern Air Command Headquarters of Air Force at Upper Shillong and fortunately had my camera to click this magnificent scenery lying unfolded in front of me. Later I painted the scene in both water and oil colours. The painting above is in oil made for a friend, Sisir Barua, who bought this painting and now framed and displayed in his drawing room.
