#himalayas — Public Fediverse posts

A friend posted a photo of a book "Bird Tales From The Himalayas".

Apart from sharing a folklore, I & the group I work with organized a book launch

Apart from the eye catching cover & an association with the book I also just happen to live across from the peaks in the cover.

So photo of the book caught my eye & Iit had to be followed up.

It snowed recently in the Himalayas - late & less. A short term sense of relief is palpable, influencer videos will cover up the severe dangers as this article reminds us yet again of how bad the situation is. Across popular media we are seeing a lot of climate change writing. Will policy & political will match the urgent attention required ?

This was taken well after #sunset into early darkness but the #peaks of the #himalayas on the #trek to #EverestBasecamp in #Nepal are so high that they catch the glow even after darkness has set in. It’s truly unlike any light I’ve seen.
