View from Tashi's59 viewsRice is not the only thing grown on terraces. Here, wheat and barley thrive.

Wheat Sheaf Home56 viewsDrying in the very shy sun.

Farm Field56 viewsSmall fields all sown by hand.

Lunch Spot60 viewsAfter trekking through some forest we stop for lunch at a wood shed.

Alpine Meadows58 viewsFurther up, we entered a large and untouched alpine meadow overgrown with wildflowers.

Halfway Up53 viewsA view through some of the shrubs on the opposite face towards the glacier.
IMG_9847.jpg
Far-Flung Flowers52 viewsIt may be hard to tell, but the whole hillside is wildflowers. Sky has been photoshopped (we were just below the cloud) to better show the colour.

No Bee Photo47 viewsOne of my favourite photos I've taken, entirely manually, of a bee going about his duties.

Ah, Flowers53 viewsWell, it was a beautiful walk and all so why not?

More Flowers55 viewsYou can really see how stony things are getting.

Fall From Grace58 viewsA rather over-cautious descent.
IMG_9888.jpg
Much Cooler Descent55 viewsYeah, you have to admit, THIS is the way to be photographed coming down the mountain (and up to the next in the distance).

Dean-Chin55 viewsLooking down on Deqin from above.
IMG_9905.jpg
Foggy Mountains58 viewsEventually we caught up with the cloud and took a rest on a lower peak.
IMG_9906.jpg
Crevass View57 viewsTwo steps in that direction will make your day end badly.
IMG_9908.jpg
Steep Slope65 viewsIf you start to fall around here, it's a long way until you stop. This theory was observed when a loose rock started to roll.

Scary View62 viewsWe were getting high enough that coming down was worrisome.
