Timor-Leste has one of the highest stunting rates in the Asia Pacific region with 1 in every 2 children under the age of 5 being stunted. Stunting is a condition where children are too short for their age compared to standards caused by long-term insufficient nutrient intake and frequent infections. It often goes unnoticed because being short is seen as “normal”.

NH-21 in the Himalaya Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir state in northern India is the "Highest Motorable Road In The World" crossing 5 mountain passes over 5000 meters / 15,000 feet. The 475 km spectacular mountain road journey runs between the Tibetan City of Leh and the Indian resort town of Manali. The highest pass is over 16,000 feet elevation and altitude sickness can be a problem. The landscape is mostly desolate with a few road house restaurant and fuel stops operated by Tibetans. A truly amazing journey through one of the world's "no man's lands"!

I wish I'd have had a strong neutral density filter so I could blur the river water with a slower exposure. This is another shot that looks way better in black and white, especially with the contrast between the snow and the mountain. The great clouds don't hurt either!

The highest point. Its just that you can not get to the highest point as there (like many parts of the rock) is a big rusty gun on it. Therefore a big rusty barbed wire fence has been placed around the highest point protecting aforementioned rusty big gun from people who want to see a nice view.
Me & TOSH at a ripper Working Trials weekend in Levin, New Zealand.
TOSH gained his 2nd WDX on Saturday. He was highest qualifier - infact he was the only dog to qualify in either the UD or WD on Saturday.
On Sunday he gained his 3rd WDX & was again highest qualifier earning him a trophy for highest WD points over the weekend.
Both days his tracking was awesome with points being 198/200.
