PhotoMann and friends in Tibet. This was a mind blowing view of Mt. Everest. We were all in awe!
We had spent hours on a bumpy road with overcast skies on our way to Everest base camp. As we climed up to the mountain pass we were all in a daze. As soon as we reached the pass we had this incredible view. We were all instantly energized… at least as much as the 17,000 foot altitude would allow us. We then walked up a 200 foot hill to where this picture was taken. That 200 feet was the longest of my life! We though we would die trying to get oxygen from the thin air. I usually don’t take pictures of myself but this was an exception. We wanted the evidence that we were actually there. At 17,200 feet wasn’t the highest we went on the trip but it was quite close.
