Talking about the Everest Base Camp Trek has become my default option. And a slide show of my Everest Base Camp pictures were featured on Yahoo! India Lifestyle.
I still remember this day very clearly. This was the day when we were walking from Dingboche to Lobuje. I woke up around 5.00 am and I was looking out of the window. I could see beautiful pink clouds and at any other time I would have rushed out with my camera.
But at that high altitude my mind would not function in a normal way. It was after good 15-20 minutes of just staring out of the window it dawned on me that the sky was already changing colors and soon it would be too late. So out I went with my camera! I have to say my experience of doing photography at high altitude is quite different from doing it at normal heights. But I think that should be a matter for a separate post. That will give me another reason to talk about EBC!
Whatever the delay, you still managed to captured a magnificent sky
Whatever the delay, you still managed to captured a magnificent morning sky!
I love the interplay of shadows and light, the sun illuminating the valley in the background, while the one in the foreground is slowly climbing out of the shadows of the night.
Fascinating facts about the effect of high altitude. I recently crossed a glacier in the alps, at about 9,000 feet, and had already to adjust to the thinner air, walking slowly and steadily. I cannot even begin to imagine if I could still function at even higher altitude!
Cheers,
Merisi
Magnificent photo.
I do not think you will ever come out of your EBC trek. And please dont, let the memories last forever.
