Title: Manaslu
Post by: maddogmurph on April 27, 2020, 06:17:48 pm: Is this one boring? I wish I had spent a day or two in this area. I hope to go back someday.

Love that glacial till water, though.

Asia?

I don't know. I suppose there isn't one. Actually, now that I think about it, I remember thinking the red rocks... some strange algae I'd guess.

Post by: francois on April 28, 2020, 05:14:34 am: Absolutely not boring at all. With this shot, I feel like I'm sitting there, feeling the fresh air, looking at the white peaks, enjoying this glorious moment…

But then I'd just have a shrubery? Or two...

So boring it isn't..

In fact it's quite lovely.
