It is the Everest Day on Monday. The mountain was climbed for the first time 70 years ago on this day, when Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary stood on its top.

This and my many other photographs of the mountain, ready to be licensed or purchased as prints, are available on #PicFair. This one is here: https://radekkucharski.picfair.com/pics/08636095-mount-everest-seen-from-kala-patthar?rcs=ZwQD7F8

Monochrome, greyscale photograph of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest – known as Sagramatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet. A classic view from Kala Patthar, with the famous South Col visible to the right of the mountain. (c) Radek Kucharski.

@GrrlScientist When you dont take charge, you create a vacuum charlatans exploit:

Our water scarcity became an issue back then and the populist ChiefJustice of the SupremeCourt decided the answer was building another mega-dam, established a "Dam Fund", and forced every gov employee to "donate".

The guy retired, the money went poof.

@GrrlScientist a few years back, in my first (and only) lecture on youtube, I warned Pakistan's existential enemy wasn't India - it was the climate crisis and melting glaciers.
"India may or may not nuke us, climate IS going to slaughter millions of us" through drought and famine and heatwaves within this lifetime.

#glaciers #himalayas #melting

According to a new study that used satellite data, the Himalayan glaciers are melting faster than previously thought. The study found that the glaciers lost 15 percent of their ice volume between 2000 and 2018, equivalent to 8.3 billion tonnes of water per year. The melting glaciers threaten millions of people who depend on them for water, agriculture, and hydropower.

Photograph of a Buddhist monk performing cham - the sacred, religious, masked dance – in the Spituk Monastery of Ladakh. This ritual dance is performed every winter in this monastery, during the Spituk Gustor festival (the Spituk Monastery Festival). The festival lasts two days and is normally attended by most of the villagers of Spituk, many Ladakhis from Leh and surrounding villages as well as a few tourists. The audience sit outside despite the bitter cold, as the dance is performed at the monastery courtyard. Cham dance festivals of this kind are organised in many monasteries of the region, belonging to various schools of the Tibetan Buddhism, including the Gelug sect, as in this case. In some monasteries the festivals were switched to summers, when more tourist have the opportunity to watch them. Winter, however, is the traditional time of the festivals, as the villagers have more free time at this part of the year and can attend them. Ladakh, India.

The #Himalayas’ Vanishing Act: Underestimated #Glacier Loss Unveiled

"Ice loss from Himalayan glaciers flowing into lakes has been underestimated by 6.5% between 2000 and 2020, impacting predictions for glacier demise and water resource management for over 1.3 billion people in #Asia. Researchers call for incorporating subaqueous mass loss in future glacier estimates and models."

#GlacialMelt is Dispossessing #Nepal’s #Indigenous Communities

Shrinking glaciers are forcing residents to flee, leaving a scattering of ghost towns across the country’s unforgiving north.

By Tulsi Rauniyar, April 04, 2023

"The indigenous communities of the upper #Himalayas are known for their age-old lifestyle, which has adapted to one of the most hostile landscapes in the world. The people of Upper Mustang are some of the last guardians of the Tibetan spiritual identity, whose century-old cultural identity and practices have been weakened by mass out-migration."

The reason? #ClimateChange !

Lhamu Tsering, a former inhabitant of the region describes the situation: "More than a decade ago, when it snowed, it would come up to here. But now, it’s barely a few inches. The mountains barely have any snow on them. In the months of March and April, the melting of snow and the occurrence of rainfall would provide sufficient irrigation to the fields, enabling the sowing of various crops such as barley, wheat, peas, and potatoes. But with lower levels of snowfall, the sowing season has gone awry."

Can honestly say I am lucky that Bhutan came into my life. I wonder where I might be today if not for the influence of friends over there, and a chance to connect with a different way of living.

For photographers, Bhutan is just an immense wealth of beauty and endless inspiration. I love it there.

Festival at Gangtey. Locals sit and watch the monks performing cham rituals (dancing of a sort). Puffy clouds drift over the main prayer hall.

What a week. And it's only Tuesday.

My mind is swirling with clients and deadlines and plans and issues and life lessons and that really stupid muscle high on the shins that turns to concrete when I walk too fast.

Bhutan is calling me however. This year is my year to bring a few people back to Bhutan and immerse ourselves in their culture and kindness. Covid has stood in the way for three years. That all changes in 2023.

My #EduGlow for today. I teach at a remote Himalyan mountain school in Jammu Kashmir - mostly first generation English learners.
Marking English papers, and this here surprise from one of the quieter girls in my class. She has been ill and out of school for most of the year.
"Write an essay about yourself. Remember to use your 'voice'", I had instructed and boy, did she!

Student has written a full page essay on herself.
Teacher has remarked 'Lovely!' with a couple of hand drawn stars, and left a note: "Very well done. You have such a good writing voice. :)"

Morning light in the Himalayas. We're at about 4500m elevation, with crystal clear skies and not a cloud to be seen, not even clinging to Everest itself.

I love working with wide-open apertures. It helps when the scenery is this special though, can hardly take a bad photo here. This lake is just below Mount Chola.

This image taken with the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG (for L-Mount) and the LUMIX S5.

Standing on the shores of Lake Chola, we greet the morning light. Shot at f/2.8 with the 14-24mm DG DN by Sigma on the LUMIX S5.
