Lhotse Face
If you ever feel like certain issues in your life are becoming too important; go walk amongst the Himalayas for a few weeks and see how significant they seem.
The summit of Lhotse rises to a lofty 8,516 metres (27,940 ft). The shot was taken from half way between Dingboche and Chhukung. This was the only bit of sky visible at the time and we had seen nothing but cloud for a few days. Everest Region, Nepalese Himalayas, Nepal. Taken on Fuji Velvia slide film.

Thanks and welcome to steemit. Just warning you that people look down on 'begging' others to look at your work on the platform and often flag people for it.

what an amazing adventure that must have been. Really lovely photo, congrats on being a winner.
Thanks. Its a special part of the world. I appreciate your support !
That much have been amazing to witness in person, to feel the sense of scale!
Mate you should get out to Nepal one day. Humbling experience.
Oh, I would love to. I enjoy reading about those who try to climb these giants, though I have no desire to do so myself - I would be content to photograph from the valleys below!

I've never been to the Himalayas but it certainly look like one of the best places to meditate and really put things in perspective. Stunning picture!
Yes they are so awe inspiring. Thanks for the kind comments.
I have just discovered your blog today and you have really amazing content. Great job!
Himalaya back to 1988, where I used to live with tibetan people 4 months... My passport has been hold back by the chinese authority then because they though I was tibetan with false passport ! thank you for this lovely mountain's face !
That is an amazing (albeit scary) story. And a cute photo.
Wow what a shot! Incredible, must have been on a very long lens? I'm guessing around 1000mm? Thanks for sharing love the film look
Thanks. It was actually only a ~280mm lens. It was shot on a Canon EOS 300 film body with a Sigma 70-200 f / 2.8 with a 1.4 teleconverter (200 x 1.4 ~ 280mm). Its just a very very big mountain. The main face of Lhotse falls for almost 4km vertically.
