    "An Iridescent Cloud in Himalaya, I observed early morning on October 18, 2009 from path to Khumjung, just 500 meters from road fork to Gokyo and Tengboche. I was ahead of my friends, so when I met my Annapurna buddy, who was going to Khunjung (to see Yeti scalp) I decided to go with him for a while. We sat on stones to talk and drink my green tea and suddenly I saw this spectacular phenomena . It was my first time I saw this phenomena and luckily I had my Nikon D90, so I was able to capture it.... Turbulence, ice crystals in the low cloud and wonderful Himalaya produce this great picture. The mountain is Thamserku (6623 m)."

    This panoramic view of a portion of the Himalayan Ranges was taken on the slope of Gun Hill (7,533 ft or 2,296 m) near Mussoorie, India. On a clear day, the snow-capped Himalayan peaks can easily be observed from here, though they're nearly 50 mi (80 km) distant. The peaks looming above the foothills in the mid-ground include Gangotri (left center), Bandarpunch (right center), Nanda Devi (25,643 ft or 7,816 m), the highest Indian Himalayan Mountain.
