Fresh crisp morning mountain views from Thyangboche Monastery rooftops to Ama Dablam, Nepal
Monks putting the final touches to a sand mandala at Thyangboche Monastery, Nepal. The mandala is made for the Mani Rimdu festival which starts on the full moon of October. It is later then ritually dismantled and the sand washed into the Imja Khola river which is a tributary of the great Dudh Koshi (milk river). This is symbolic of the transient nature of things. For the monks the beauty rests in the meditative process of creation. Nikon D80, Nikkor AF-DX Fisheye 10.5mm / F2.8, 1/60, ISo 450 / /
From the buzzing, humid city of Kathmandu to the pristine scenery of the Himalayan Mountains, these are photographs of my trek up to the source of the Dudh Koshi River and deep into the Sagarmatha National Park to climb to where the air has less than 50% oxygen with amazing views of the Khumbu glacial valley and the Himalayas in beautiful, clear Autumn weather.
