A misty sunrise over Mt Everest, also known as Chomolungma or Sagarmatha, towering above at a massive 8,848 metres (29,029 ft). The summit of Mt Everest has less then 33% of the oxygen available at sea level. I hiked up Kala Pattar 5,644.5 m (18,519 ft) in the dark with a head torch three mornings in a row in an attempt to get this shot. At 5500m you have exactly 50% of the Oxygen available at sea level. The highest mountain on earth, Mt Everest is in the Mahalangur Range of the Himalayas and sits on the international border between China (Tibet Autonomous Region) and Nepal. Photo taken on Fuji Velvia slide film.

Breathtaking!
Figuratively for the viewer, literally for the photographer!
I already made a post featuring this picture but it was before I found out about this contest. We went hiking in the Cordillera Blanca in the Peruvian Andes near Huaraz and I was able to see this view with the silhouettes of the three hikers set against the snow capped peaks at the end of our first day of hiking.
Love the silhouettes !
The view from the top of the mountain while snowmobiling in Winter Park, Colorado. One of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had. I loved zipping through the trees covered with freshly fallen snow.
Nice. Do you get to Colorado often?
No, I haven't been for a long time. I want to go back and in the winter again.

The best thing about hiking on top of the Andes is that no matter where you look, you'll end up having great views. And no matter how scary a mountain is, I always get curious to know how it feels on top.
Hope you've enjoyed this pic, you can check it HERE
The view across Elterwater at the amazing mountains in the Lake District! It was such a beautiful clear day with some snow still on the mountains!
Nice. Always hear about he Lake District, but never seen a lot of photos from there.
Thanks! I have done a lot of posts about it, its our favourite place, if you ever get chance you should go!

This is part of the range Dikti as you can see it on your way to Lassithi Plateau (Crete, Greece).
It's the kind of wild beauty that moves me the most.
Love this. Such a big sky.
