From a drone and not one with loads of people paying tens of thousands of dollars to be hauled up:

Do you take pictures Steve?

Just wondered with the links you post how you found them and if it was due to a photography interest?

Great link again btw.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

I used to work in Nepal, including in Everest National Park. It truly is the most amazing place for anyone interested in the outdoors or interesting places with a way of life quite different to ours. I miss it more than I often care to admit. I highly recommend Nepal to anyone who likes a bit of adventure.

Top pics Steve, ta for the link.

Stunning stuff!!! The photographer was in a film called Meru with another amazing photographer called Jimmy Chin. Well worth a watch if you like photography / mountaineering. Trailer below.

Absolute crazy b@stards. It's the sort of thing I've always wished I could do, from the safety of an armchair!

I do but nothing quite so spectacular. That one was a Facebook link from someone I was on a walking trip with last year. A lot of the others are random stuff via Twitter.

I’m sure we’ve discussed travels before Swansea but I’m incredibly jealous you lived in Nepal!!! It’s been on my bucket list for years...for a lover of the outdoors it looks the perfect playground!!! Everest was a pipe dream but the commercial aspect of it now is disgusting.

I never lived there, but did used to spend about 3 months of the year there (pretty much as long as I could pre- and post-monsoon whenever there wasn't snow).

It is the perfect playground; the commercialisation is only an issue if you're climbing Everest itself (although lodges en route could get busy, and I'm going back 15 yrs now). I worked on Khumbu Glacier for a few weeks one year and you wouldn't have known there was anyone else around. It's a big old place to get lost in if you've got a tent.

Bhutan wasn't bad either, but that's another story!
