Recently I was asked if I had any black and white photos of Ama Dablam, the star peak of the Khumbu/Everest region of Nepal. This spurred me into reviewing my archives from my trip there, and I was happy to find a number of nice photos I passed over previously. Here’s what I came up with:
Gazing up at mighty Ama Dablam.

The mountains here in the Khumbu region of the Himalaya are by far the largest and most powerful-feeling mountains I’ve ever visited, and I hope that these photos convey some of that awesome power!
