By the light of the Moon

Macchapucchre

Nepal

 

This picture is one of those that brings back some very vivid memories. At 4100m, we didn't think that Marianne would be suffering from altitude sickness as she had previously been up to 4500+ before needing to come down. In the middle of the night at Annapurna Base Camp, in retrospect, I noticed she was getting exhausted just getting into the sleeping bag. Later that evening, bad headaches, worsening breathing prompted some of our guides to take her down a couple of hundred meters toward Macchapucchre base camp where we basically set up some blankets and sleeping bags on a flattish rock and tried to get some rest. In the end, I gave that up and just took pictures of the incredible scenes lit by the full moon.
