Rebecca has nicely said it all. Well expressed. I fully go along with all she has expressed so well here.

Such a dramatic, awe-inspiring and amazing autumn picture of the world’s highest mountain in the Himalayas on the border of Nepal and Tibet on a clear day, Mt Everest, 8,850m and the halo of diamond dust above. Well done Melanie! I have always loved the power, grandure, strength and extreme vastness of nature of high, snowy mountains, which tower above the plains or water, creating an amazing contrast between the two. I am a cloud, landscape and mountain digital photographer and have been to many places with high mountains to get some amazing cloud and mountain photos from New Zealand, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, France, Germany, Canada(Yukon, Northwest Territories) and USA(Alaska) over the last 15 years. Wouldn’t like to be in the Himalayas in mid-winter in the middle of a blizzard! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
