[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Miacamu Peak, part of the Kawa Karpo holy Tibetan range, in Yunnan, China, seen from the village of Yubeng in the early morning. This is a holy peak, second after Kailash for the Tibetans, and they come from miles around to walk around the mountain and do prostrations.

Incredible ! It is a pity which it is so small... In any way this picture is really marvellous and I already do not believe to have seen such a phenomenon...

So wonderfully strange clouds ....
thx for sharing

I just returned from Yubeng - will post some photos soon.
You saw some great "atmospherics". Beautiful and unusual shot. It is a great mountain.

Hi Dave,

By now I have probably seen hundreds of photos of this mountain, and yet yours still manages to stand out. From a technical point of view, I doubt you could have exposed any better; in spite of enormous variations in intensity of light, nothing is either over- or under-exposed (bar the bottom left, which is irrelevant). The clouds, of course, are only just barely in this world, and lend an entirely appropriate mystical feel to this holy mountain.

Hey, Dave,

this shot of Meili snow mountain is really fabulous, excellent formation of the clouds and elegant shape of the Mountain, for sure my favorite.

thanks for sharing
