Requiem For A Red Box
View allAll Photos Tagged K2
A never before seen perspective of one of the greatest and most challenging mountains in the world. 4,000 people have summited Everest, whilst less than 400 can claim the K2 title. It's a beast. The first ever winter ascent was accomplished by Nirmal in 2021 and his elite Sherpa team, which was an incredible achievement. Every mountain you see in the foreground would be world class by itself, but since there are so many of them in this area, some of them even go unnamed. Chongtar Kangri in the left is 7,330 meters or 24,000 feet. And although it looks small, this "little friend" of K2 is over 4,000 feet taller than the tallest mountain in North America. Getting to this location alone, is extraordinary. The challenges are vast and numerous.
Well, not quite K2....
I see Flickr have decided to bugger about with the home page again, when will they learn not to meddle!?
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated

Dordt in Stoom 2022
Dordt in Stoom is het grootste driedaagse stoomevenement van Europa, dat om het jaar plaatsvindt in de binnenstad van Dordrecht. Elke keer komen er ongeveer 250.000 bezoekers af op allerlei stoommachines, zoals stoomschepen, stoomtreinen, stoomcarrousels, stoomwalsen, stoomtractoren en dergelijke. Ook reden er busdiensten met veteraanbussen.

Mullengandra, New South Wales, Australia.
Con 8.611 metros, tras el monte Everest (8.848 m), es la segunda montaña más alta de la Tierra y la más difÃcil de escalar.
El K2 es conocido como la montaña salvaje debido a la dificultad de ascenderla y por ser la segunda en porcentaje de fatalidades entre los "ochomiles" para aquellos que lo escalan. Por cada cuatro personas que han alcanzado la cumbre, una ha muerto intentándolo.
