While sorting out my photos, I couldn't help but drift back in time to the day I ascended 4700m to Namtso Lake - the highest lake in the world.
And what a spectacular sight it was!
A flat calm watery surface stretches out into the misty distance to join the rugged outline of snow capped mountains, reflecting the wispy clouds that almost caresses its pure and unbroken face. And the blue - it's like nothing I've ever seen... The Tibetans tell of a love story between the highest peak - Nychentangla and the lake - Namtose, and how the heroic mountain casts its reflection onto her face to be united in love. The only thing that breaks the spell of a perfect calm and stirring the reflected image of the mountains are seagulls and wild geese diving in to fish for supper.
What do you do when set upon such perfect beauty? You simply stand in awe...
