July 2025 - Travelers' camp, Gunji
About the Image(s)
I guess a Swiss-style chalet isn't what you expect to find traditionally in the Himalayas, but travel is what it is, and this is a camp for today's travelers at Gunji village (Elevation: 3,200 m or 10,667'), in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, India, close to the border with Tibet and Nepal, where we spent a night last September before proceeding to Adi Kailash. The mountain in the background is Mount Api (Elevation: 7,132 m or 23,773') across the international border in Nepal. Photographed with my Vivo V23e 5G phone, 52 mm @ f/1.8, 1/465 sec. ISO: 100. I thought of cropping out the building at the extreme right (the dining room), but decided it didn't make much of a difference. I'd rather crop out the plastic chairs at the bottom, but that makes the composition too tight.

I agree about the plastic chairs but sometimes, we can't do much about such things. The people add scale and interest to the image.   Posted: 07/09/2025 13:45:06
