It's a beautiful photo -- and a fine thing you are doing to help the people of Nepal.
Rudi Prott replied:
Thank You very much Jean ! Nepal is such a great country. For me it ever was destination no. 1. I hope that they can get out of this deep desperation.
Peter Ryan

Thanks Peter! I have been there two times and I would come back when ever possible.

I have so much respect for those who do the climb to the top! I did the trek to base camp a few years ago, totally kicked my butt, hahaha. Great photo!!
Rudi Prott replied:
Hi Tia! Thanks for the comment. Did You see the difference in angle on Your view from the basecamp?

Beautiful !!! Just boggles my mind that Mt. Everest is that high. Put the Grand Teton on top of Mt. Whitney and it is about the same height. Your shot really captures how high it is.
Rudi Prott replied:
... and it is not only the elevation: it is such a big block of stone. On the hill where I did stand You think You are away 5 miles, but it is 15 !!
