Greetings from Nepal….wish you were here!
Photo taken along the Annapurna Trek in Nepal. 2010.
Nepal is one of those places that I will never ever forget. It is so breathtakingly beautiful. This photo was taken in Manang, Nepal a lovely village with bakeries and trekkers galore. A place I’d love to go back to someday.

Cool shot.
Thank you! Pretty easy to get a good one in Nepal where everything is so spectacular!
Gorgeous photo Nicole! I’d love to go there.
Don’t you just love mountains!
YES!!! That is why I love hiking so much! Looks like you have some lovely mountains near you too! will have to visit someday! 🙂
Aiyo! That’s some shot. Magic indeed, Nicole. Brava!
Thanks! I actually played around with it to make it more dramatic. I have it without the darkness and it is still spectacular but I liked this effect too!
You mean the darkness of the rocky mountains, or the clouds, or the atmospheric darkness? I think what I love, even more than the sun spotlighting those peaks, is the snowdrift blowing from the top of the mountains. That was a precursor to bad weather, wasn’t it?
The darkness of the clouds was what I played around with. It was morning and the sun was rising over the mountains causing the gorgeous snowdrift coming. Actually this was right after the only bad weather day we had in two weeks! It was after a day of snow so maybe the snow was dusting off the peaks? Thanks for enjoying the pic! I’m trying to play around more with my photos to see what I can come up with!!!
You’ve got a tremendous catalogue – bravo you:)
Oh thanks! I am trying. I definitely have the “wanderlust gene” too! Once you’ve got it, there is no turning back, is there?!
No, not much you can do but feed it, I’m afraid:)
The deep ultramarine of the sky up there is remarkable.
Yes, it sure is! I fell in love with Nepal. Dream to go back. Thanks for commenting!
