i was going through my photo archives when i came across this photo, taken during a trek in the himalayas in june 2011(i had posted a GESO then but i don't think this particular photo was in it).

(the dog in the photo materialised one km out into the trek and accompanied us until we reached dhakuri.) i tried to find out more after i completed the trek in 2011 but couldn't. but google threw up a reference to the tombtone in an article, written in 2012: https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/NNUKYNs8MuYzc6D0frsyMN/Pindari-glacier--Resilient-earth.html it is about a year and a half since my last trek in the himalayas. hopefully i can make it again when this lockdown and COVID-19 blows over....if it blows over. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
