This is an old 'film' image taken during a trek in the beautiful Langtang valley in 2003. In April 2015, a severe earthquake devastated many villages in this valley. The worst hit, was Langtang village itself as over 240 people lost their lives. I will never forget the kindness of those villagers I met during that trek.
The warm light hits the chiselled snow capped peak of Lantang, some minutes before sunrise.
This comes of a single exposure - RAW.
Underexposed 1 stop , or rather exposed for the peak.
Shot with 70-200VR, + 2xTC . shot at 380mm
The lichens on the trees in this forest were incredible, they seemed to glow red from within.

One month before the devastating earthquake in Nepal, that utterly destroyed the ancient village of Langtang in the same named glacial valley in 2015, I visited this mirage-like place. The courageous people of the valley are now rebuilding - but nothing can bring back the hundreds of locals and trekkers who were lost on that fateful day 25th of April 2015.
Another glorious month has been spent in Nepal, mainly visiting the Langtang Valley up by the Tibetan border and Chitwan National Park down by the Indian border.

On a rainy day at Kyanjin Gompa, I decided to walk over the river to Chhonak Lake. On the other side of the lake, the the mountain side steeply ascended in to cloud. With a long lens, I made several images of the cloud forest as it was shrouded in drifting mist.

Another image from the Langtang Valley floor. This is the view looking up the valley. The white line in the centre of the image is a vast scree plateau that stretches out for half a mile or so.

I havn't removed the colour from this shot - it was literally black and white!
Langtang Lirung (7,234 m, 23,734 ft.) is seen on the horizon right of center in this shot taken on the way home from a 10-day trek in Bhutan. The peak lies some 65 km (40 mi.) north-northeast of Kathmandu in Langtang National Park, Bagmati Province, Nepal. The sharp pyramid to its right is Kimshung (aka Tsangbu Ri, 6,781 m, 22,247 ft.). The mountain at far left (c. 7,280 m, 23,885 ft.) lies in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
At Kyanjin-Gompa. The peak of the shrine is seen behind this roof made of stone. Prayer flags and the serene mountains create a mystic aura to this glacial valley of Langtang.
Habitation du village de Langtang au Népal.
En avril 2015, le Népal a été frappé par un violent tremblement de terre d'une magnitude 7,8 qui a fait plus de 5.000 victimes. Parmi celles-ci, plus de 200 personnes vivant dans le petit village de Langtang.
Sur la photo satellite, on voit bien l'ampleur du désastre !
