Weather on the way, Indian Himalaya
Near Joshimath in the Indian Himalaya. Tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) lived on these mountainsides — from my balcony most evenings I could see small groups feeding on the steep slopes on the far side of the valley.

wow, that's quite a view!
and with your amazing writing skillz, i am hoping there's a memoir in the works?
:D
Thanks Leonie. Something in book form will arrive eventually — sooner rather than later, I trust.
That's quite some weather, isn't it? I thought the last photo was lovely - but that particular scene looks insignificant compared to this one.
Anne-Marie, it was certainly cold, but I was able to stay warm enough and the view was worth the minor discomfort.
deadly pic pete
i was caught by the peak lured into the foreground and then in awe at the sharp ridges in the top left...makes me feel adventurous
Hey Tom, you'd have to be adventurous (and well equipped) to head up there in that weather. When it's fine it's a different matter, though — I did a day walk further up the valley and got to a fair height among mixed conifer and rhododendron forest. Loved it.
