Himalayan Flooflord!

Thanks for the mountain of love lately. I’ll find something other than mountains for the next posts! 😝✌🏽❤️

A solitary white yak grazes quietly beneath the vast Himalayas, its heavy coat glowing against golden autumn trees and the immense sweep of snowy peaks rising in dramatic contrast behind it.

Morning, Susan 👋🏽

I made my way down to one of the islands today. Need some time for a few days to do nothing and get some more planning done! Went for a run along the beach at sunset. I’m settled in now to watch the F1 finale 😬😬

Have a lovely Sunday 📚📚📚

A photo of Everest catching the final golden kiss of the setting sun, illuminating Earth’s last frontier in a brief blaze before night settles across the mountains.

A black and white photo of an endless stone corridor at Angkor Wat, where sunlight slices in diagonals and brushes over apsara sculptures, their weathered forms standing still, watching over an empty passage, as time deepens around them.

Another one of my favourite Uzbek metro stations!

A black and white photo of the geometric, faceted ceiling of Beruniy Metro Station in Tashkent, stretching above a quiet platform where a lone person stands near the tracks under dramatic, repeating pyramidal ceiling panels.

A photo of Nuptse at sunset, its steep icy face glowing orange as wind sweeps a plume of illuminated spindrift from the summit, turning the mountain into a towering flame against the deepening sky.

Hi, Susan 👋🏽

Picture the scene…I pop off my bike for 5 secs to take a photo. An opportunist monkey (cheeky?) steals my bike key & proceeds to taunt me with it, threatening to chuck it in the river. Half an hour & a mango smoothie later, I managed to retrieve my key from its grasp. How’s your day? 😂

A black and white photo of a narrow, winding mountain trail disappearing into the distance as Manaslu (Mountain of the Spirit) rises ahead like a frozen citadel, its immense, ice-clad face standing in austere silence above the valley.

A black and white photo capturing the Oculus’s sweeping ribs converging toward a dramatic V-shaped corridor of light, with small figures below adding scale to the towering, cathedral-like structure. A black and white photo showing the Oculus’s curved ribs stacking rhythmically upward, creating a flowing, wave-like architectural pattern beside the vertical glass panels.

Layered waterfalls cascade into pale blue pools, framed by leaves and warm sunlight filtering through the dense tropical forest.

Exactly that. It’s almost as if you were there, Dwight!

Here’s a photo from the other side of the tree so you can see the reach of the roots and size of the tree.

Many thanks as ever, Dwight 🙏🏽
The broad roots of a Ficus altissima anchor the forest floor beside a gentle, multi-tiered waterfall, sunlight slipping through leaves and casting warm patterns across the scene.

A steep mountainside is draped in a tapestry of golden autumn foliage, punctuated by deep green pines. Above the textured slope, soft white clouds drift across a crisp, blue sky.

For a fleeting moment, the clouds perfectly mirrored the peaks of Manaslu (the 8th highest mountain in the world).

A black and white photo of two silhouetted hikers, dwarfed by Pumori’s immense sunlit icy slopes as swirling clouds drift upward, highlighting the contrast between human fragility and the mountain’s overwhelming power.

It was cinematic until Bluesky blurred the whole video 😂😂

Regardless, I think the sentiment came across!

That gentle beast is called a Yak. Do look them up!! They are the work horses of the Himalayas, especially at the higher altitudes. Here’s one staring me down as I was taking this very video 😂😂

Moments like these cleanse the soul.

Six incredibly humbling weeks in the Himalayas. Excited to share what I saw with you! 🏔️ 🌅 ✌🏽

I’m off to Nepal - hiking & reconnecting with nature.

Leaving you with a few of my favorite mountains! (Minus Mt. Fuji) 🫣

Catch you all again in Nov.

A black and white photo of Salkantay Mountain in Peru. Its icy summit looms above a stark, rocky valley, mirrored perfectly in a still patch of meltwater, all beneath a partially cloudy Andean sky. Face to face with natures raw power, under a canopy of stars, Volcán de Fuego pours incandescent lava down its flanks as a brooding column of ash ascends. From the summit of Mt. Rinjani on the Indonesian island of Lombok, the rising sun paints the ridges gold while the mountain’s shadow pierces the horizon, forming a fleeting pyramid in the sky. A still, blue crater lake and a smaller volcano can be seen below. View atop Huayna Potosí (6,088m / 19,974ft), where a snow covered mountain peak reveals jagged dark rocks piercing the thick white snow. The foreground showcases a vast expanse of Penitente ice formations. A carved path used by hikers is visible across the bottom.

Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin. A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

In a Costa Rican nature reserve, a striking Green Honeycreeper stands on a half-eaten papaya. Its yellow-tipped beak is poised against the ripe orange flesh, contrasted by the soft green foliage in the background.

Mother Nature’s version of rock stacking.

No sheep were available for scale, but they could easily meander beneath that boulder!

Black and white photo of a towering rock formation at Brimham Rocks, showing stacked sandstone layers perched improbably on a narrow point above rocky ground. A giant balancing boulder at Brimham Rocks rises among dense vegetation, its smooth layers and rounded shape set against a cloudy sky.
