I love images like this, that were not the one you are expecting from a specific shoot! We drove by this magnificent tree and parked quickly to capture it #Winter #Outdoors #ColdTemperature #Plant #Snow #Tree #Nature #CopySpace #White #Sky #Frost #lone_tree #snow_landscape with @christiangroeber
Thorong La High Camp is a small settlement located on the popular Annapurna Circuit trekking trail in Nepal. It serves as an overnight stop for trekkers before attempting to cross the challenging Thorong La Pass. Here's some information about it:
Key Details:
Elevation: Approximately 4,880 meters (16,010 feet). This high altitude makes acclimatization crucial before staying here.
Location:
Situated in the Manang District of Nepal, on the eastern approach to Thorong La Pass. It's above Thorong Phedi (the lower base camp).
Purpose: Primarily a stopover point for trekkers aiming to cross Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters / 17,769 feet) the next day. Staying at High Camp shortens the ascent on the pass day.
Accommodation: There is typically only one basic tea house available at Thorong La High Camp. It offers limited facilities and can be very cold at night. Booking in advance might be difficult, and it operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
Conditions:
The environment is barren and exposed, with little to no vegetation. Temperatures can drop significantly, especially at night.
Considerations for Trekkers:
Altitude Sickness:
Due to the high elevation, there's a significant risk of altitude sickness. Spending a night or even a rest day in Manang (around 3,500 meters) and then a night in Yak Kharka (around 4,050 meters) or Ledar (around 4,200 meters) is highly recommended for acclimatization before reaching High Camp.
Physical Condition:
Reaching High Camp involves a steep uphill trek from Thorong Phedi. Trekkers need to be in good physical condition.
Weather: Weather conditions at this altitude can change rapidly. It's essential to be prepared for cold temperatures, strong winds, and potential snow even during the main trekking seasons (spring and autumn). Check the weather forecast before your trek.
Early Start: Trekkers staying at High Camp typically wake up very early (around 3-5 am) to begin their ascent to Thorong La Pass to avoid strong afternoon winds and potential bad weather.
Limited Facilities:
Be prepared for basic accommodation and food options at the tea house. Water needs to be treated or boiled for safety.
Staying at Thorong La High Camp offers a strategic advantage for crossing the pass, but it demands careful planning, proper acclimatization, and preparedness for challenging conditions.

Eurasian sparrowhawk attacing an eurasian jay. I was out walking when I vitnessed this situation on the ice. . Nature is brutal and dramatic!
In the Appenzell Alpstein, more precisely on the Schwägalp, a path with many small lanterns leads through the forest during the cold and dark season. This is of course beautiful when there is also snow.
We have completed the path shortly after the sun has set. The golden and the blue hour, but also afterwards in the darkness showed great moods. Fortunately, the trail is not too long, because it was freezing cold. This was good for the quality of the pictures, but was at the expense of cold fingers :-)
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
Early morning in Switzerland, after heavy snow and some mist rolling around, it created a beautiful scenery that resonate as Switzerland

A cold and peaceful image from #Switzerland , I love the minimalism with the soft sky in the background. It was not the best light or the best weather but when the world gives you lemon then make some limoncello I guess #Sky #Tranquility #TranquilScene #Winter #Nature #Outdoors #ColdTemperature #ScenicsNature #sunrise #pastel_colors #landscape #landscape__photography #sony100400gm #a7riv
