A little over a year ago we got back from Tibet having co-led the trek into a remote corner of the Himalaya, rarely visited by westerners, and possibly the first western photo group.
This was dawn from our camp two; having managed to get up here in the dark the night before to shoot the Milky Way, I was able to find some energy to trek back up for sunrise the next morning.
For anyone who has not experienced trying to move at over 17,000 feet when you’re still acclimating – let’s just say, it’s a wee bit tough! Having said that, as I sat at the edge of this beautiful alpine loch on my own, watching the sun kiss first Everest, then Lhotse and finally Makalu, my breath was taken away from me again.
Can’t wait to get back to Tibet this coming April.
