"gipfel"foto.

the south wall of the annapurna looks pretty unclimbable to me.

then we saw the natural wonder of a circular rainbow around the sun.

more peaks and clouds in the evening.

tibetan prayer flags and the machapuchare (and the base camp lodges).

the way back thru the villages

cute baby.

one of the better suspension bridges (still scary to me).

not so for brave ju.
