Above, a night view of Mt. Cho Oyu (26,906 feet) and the Himalayas from a frontier town in southern Tibet called Tingri.
We'd like to say the summit you're seeing is Mt. Everest, which is clearly visible from where this photo was shot. However, in a typical moment of Liz & Kip travel brilliance, we realized at 4 am in the freezing cold on a tiny bridge just outside of town, that we didn't know which of the surrounding snow-capped peaks was the largest in the world.
Sadly, the world's highest mountain is about half-an-inch beyond the left edge of the frame of this shot.
It looked real nice. Really, it did.
Yes, after six months, we're still the clueless travelers we were when we started.
GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteAhh. Yes, it was. And FREEZING! But worth it for the photo!
DeleteUnderstandable from the guy who "could not see" his dirty clothes on the floor when a young lad growing up.
