The summit of Mt Everest, peeking out from behind surrounding mountains, coloured orange as it catches the last rays of sunlight at the end of the day. This image was captured during a month long trek to the Solo/Khumbu region of Nepal around September 1989. Photo of slide projected onto a wall.
@crossingthethreshold Great photo! At first, and before I read the text, I thought (not having my glasses on) it was some ice with an orange peel on top!
My then 20yo body would have loved to be on a trip like that.
@Miraz @jean @wfm @KimberlyHirsh @odd Thank you all. I have just put up another post telling the story behind the photo, how I came to capture it.
@crossingthethreshold Oh wow! I didn't realize that you took that photo. I have seen a similar one before elsewhere, or maybe they stole your photo.
@crossingthethreshold Just read the story, and it’s wonderful. So happy you decided to post this, it adds a lot to an already great photo. Thank you.
@crossingthethreshold Thanks for sharing that. You conveyed a lot of amazingness into a short essay. What a time you had!
@crossingthethreshold Thank you for writing about this experience! It must have been an awesome sight. If I know myself right, I would have been sitting safely down the mountain, eating noodles, and not getting this great feeling.
@odd I might do the same these days. Back then common sense wasn’t something that I would necessarily follow! 😂
