This image is taken from a collection of work titled ‘Journey into the Pure Lands’. These images were taken in the winter of 2003 during a four week trek through the Nepal Himalayas Everest region. We climbed as far as Gokyo, reaching 5500m above sea level. I undertook this journey for a number of reasons. That year had been difficult and had involved loss, at this point in my life I felt that I had nothing to lose but to take up the challenge of trekking a mountain in Nepal. I had always dreamed of doing this, not only for the landscape, but also so I could draw near to the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, something that has influenced my life for a long time. I was not sure what I wanted to find, maybe a challenge to revitalize my life, or to give myself time and space to find some clarity. What I did find was one hell of a challenge! The struggles caused by temperatures dropping as low as -15 and the impact of high altitude really helped me put into perspective some of the emotional adversity I had experienced. The richness and mysticism was a photographers dream, but most of all I was inspired by the peace, humour and great strength I found amongst the Tibetan and Nepalese people despite the adversity they had faced. There was a sense of space and clarity, not just in the landscape, but also amongst many of whom we met. At the end of a hard days trekking the clouds would gather beneath us forming a white blanket almost real enough to walk on. I could describe it as nothing less than the pure lands depicted within Buddhist imagery.

This photograph was taken during the debating at Ganden Monastery. Since the authorities have now banned debating at the other great Lhasa monasteries – Sera and Drepung – I was very fortunate to witness the spectacle for a second time.

Feb 09- This work has been featured in the group: Himalaya Singing bowls (also known as ‘Himalayan bowls’ or ‘rin’ or suzu gongs in Japan) are a type of bell, specifically classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, standing bells sit with the bottom surface resting. The sides and rim of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound. Singing bowls were traditionally used throughout Asia as part of Bön and Tantric Buddhist sadhana. Today they are employed worldwide both within and without these spiritual traditions, for meditation, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice. source: Wikipedia

This is the first time I’ve used photomerge in Photoshop. This panorama is from two hand-held images. The skyline left to right is Chumbu 6959m, Pumo Ri 7165m, Lingtren 6749m, Khumbutse 6665m, Changtse 7553m (in Tibet), the shoulder of Everest and Nuptse 7861m. The small plume of snow blowing just behind the ridge of Nuptse is coming from the top of Everest which you can’t see in this image. My trekking buddy Nick provides some idea of the scale of things among the rocky landscape of the Khumbu Glacier.
