There it is, the glorious sunrise over the Himalayas at Sarangkot
There it is, thn the glorious sunrise over the Himalayas at the sunrise viewing point at Sarangkot, just outside of Pokhara, Nepal. Magnificent vista indeed, but before we go on, I simply must show you this. I have got some truly great views of the sunrise from my position at the viewing gallery, having been lucky enough to claw my way right up to the front past a kind Chinese couple. After the photography, I purposely fell back a little to take this picture of the sheer herds of humans around me. This indeed was the biggest off-putting factor for me, for enjoying this magnificent sunrise. Pushing and jostling aside, the most irritating thing was when scores of them stuck their hands up in the air, cellphone cameras in hand, obscuring the view for everyone behind them. I even had to bark at one stupid moron who was in that position for a good fifteen minutes, without moving. But for now, I am lucky to have got a positon right against the railings with no inconsiderate people in front of me holding up their cellphones in this fashion. In fact the idiot I had to bark at was actually standing on a raised balustrade, so apart from his camera, his body too was obscuring the view. Ouch! (Pokhara, Nepal, Oct/ Nov. 2019)
