I am yearning for such places again. This was an early early morning shot at Tengboche. The monastery at Tengboche is awe inspiring. I wonder how they managed to construct it at such a height!

Skywatch Friday- Blue Skies from Nepal
For this Skywatch Friday too I am posting an image from my Everest Base Camp trek. This place is quite close to Dingboche and what you see is the route to go to Lobuje. More more sky pictures please visit the Skywatch page. Better still show us your skies.
I am Like a Broken Record- EBC EBC EBC EBC is all I can Really Say Even Now!

A Picture from Patan, Kathmandu, Nepal
