Fall From Grace98 viewsA rather over-cautious descent.
|
|

Steep Slope94 viewsIf you start to fall around here, it's a long way until you stop. This theory was observed when a loose rock started to roll.
|
|

First Peaks93 viewsOur first peek at the peaks as the cloud continually lifted with our ascent.
|
|

Dean-Chin93 viewsLooking down on Deqin from above.

Scary View93 viewsWe were getting high enough that coming down was worrisome.
|
|

Next Peak90 viewsHere I am on top of a small rocky crag.
|
|

View from Tashi's88 viewsRice is not the only thing grown on terraces. Here, wheat and barley thrive.
|
|

Alpine Meadows88 viewsFurther up, we entered a large and untouched alpine meadow overgrown with wildflowers.
|
|

More Flowers88 viewsYou can really see how stony things are getting.
|
|

Foggy Mountains88 viewsEventually we caught up with the cloud and took a rest on a lower peak.

|

Wheat Sheaf Home86 viewsDrying in the very shy sun.
|
|

Into the Rocks86 viewsSoon the meadow gave way to scattered rock and cliff faces.
|
|

Lunch Spot85 viewsAfter trekking through some forest we stop for lunch at a wood shed.

|

Crevass View85 viewsTwo steps in that direction will make your day end badly.
|
|

Much Cooler Descent84 viewsYeah, you have to admit, THIS is the way to be photographed coming down the mountain (and up to the next in the distance).
|
|

Shown and Hidden Peaks84 viewsThe Himalayas were only partially visible in the distance.
|
|

Ah, Flowers82 viewsWell, it was a beautiful walk and all so why not?
|
|

Farm Field81 viewsSmall fields all sown by hand.
|
|

Well-Earned Dinner78 viewsExpensive, but meals at Tashi's never disappoint.
|
|

No Bee Photo77 viewsOne of my favourite photos I've taken, entirely manually, of a bee going about his duties.
