Dead Vlei, Namibia. These Acacias are hundreds of years old when presumably there was some water here. Fly to this location (Requires Google Earth ) +++ replaced with a larger version +++

Kanchenjunga Above the Clouds

29 May 2006 247
Kanchenjunga (8586m) viewed from Sandakphu, looking towards Sikkim. The clear air is no doubt helped by the altitude - 3630m. Just around the corner (or over a small mound) you can also get a view of Everest, but the cloud wasn't as good in that direction and it is much further away. Best viewed large to see more detail - there's a red-robed monk in there somewhere.

The Mountain goes to Sleep

Jirishanca 6126m at sunset, trekking around the Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru. If you look carefully the mountain seems to have a face and its eyelids are starting to look a little heavy. Fly to this location (Requires Google Earth )

Kanchenjunga in the Setting Sun

29 May 2006 211
Kanchenjunga (8586m) at sunset from Sandakphu, Sikkim. This viewpoint is an ideal place to view the mountain in the setting sun, although a little chilly at 3663m. The same cloud had been raining on us earlier in the day, so we paid our respects to the mountain gods for allowing us this fabulous view.
