Basho high altitude valley

Basho high altitude valley
At around 4000m here, in the Himalaya, looking out across the Indus to the Karakoram Range. The mountains rise steeply and abruptly from the deep and treacherous valley below carved out by the mighty Indus River, near its headwaters. The air is thin, thé sky endless and there is a flush of autumn across the low trees and bushes.
A most remote area reached by terrifying jeep track, requiring a leap of faith as usual. Very untouristed.

I love north Pakistan very much!

A beautiful and relaxing landscape. A beautiful immensity in front of you. The Indus, the frontier of Alexander the Great's expansion. I would love to be there. You are truly intrepid and brave.

It sounds like the travel is arduous Diana, but for this view, totally worth the effort. Those mountains are absolutely stunning..!!

I love your composition here and the light is gorgeous. I especially like the way you've described the scene in your narrative.........such lovely words!

Hi Diana
I like this picture very much!
It is a very unusual and interesting composition.
I am dying to know what the building like objects are!
Perhaps some special design to use local materials to resist the weather...
Very nice colours too, as always
Best Wishes, HWW, and stay safe!!

Hello Peter. Thanks. The building like structures are just giant rocks, lying as they have randomly dropped from above! :-)
