Annapurna Base Camp, Nepal
This a HDR test at the Annapurna Base Camp, it was windy so that's why the flags get blurry..
Anapurna Mountain,Nepal
This is another of those rare heart stopping places. The mountain before you is in the Anapurna range, Nepal. From the altitude I stood at when I took the shot, the peak is still the equivalent of the total height of Mont Blanc away. Prayer flags blow in the foreground like they have done for millenia.

The Anapurna range (Pokhara, Nepal)
Early morning at the World Peace Pagoda in Pokhara valley above Fewa lake. It is a one hour hike from the lake. I was there alone, the weather was beautiful, the sight was spectacular.
Yoga and trekking around Mt Everest, Nepal.
Doing efforts in the mountains is more difficult than at sea level. Carrying a bag is not so good for the back. Stretching the body is always appreciated, especially in high altitude. Yoga means to join, to unite.
This asana is called the bridge. A bridge is made for linking people.
