A Photo Essay...On the way to Shangri La...#1

Legend has it that beyond these mountains, covered with snow and shrouded
in mist lies the fabled land of Shangri La



The entrance to this Land is protected by Guardians from time immemorial



The people have gazed across the valleys and plains to the far distant peaks
and wondered what Shangri La would be like



Most of them would gather behind their fortified walls, with their offerings
to their gods and gaze in awe and wonder at the majesty of that which
might lie beyond.



But, as is usual, there were a few brave souls that dared to embark on
a journey. Many many perished; those that returned told of an experience
that most mortals only dream of....

Shtarka1,Daniel,Roanjoh,Jono,Don and Lloyd..
Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Prior to posting the next pictures of the Shangri La adventure, I want to
acknowledge the fact the most of the photos that follow are not mine.

They were taken by one of the most courageous persons I have had the
honor for knowing. The Journey belongs to that person and so does the
praise.

A few of my photographs are interspersed in between.

That person is my wife of 37 years. Courageous and with a heart of gold.
A grandmother of 4. She is now under training for an ascent, if possible,
of Mont Blanc or the Matterhorn. I am blessed to have her.

Allow me to introduce her:


with our youngest grandchild.


Arriving for a live satellite TV interview at our home.

Best Regards.

Matt, funny, I was just here today with the X1. Great shots! YOu have been prolific here!
Ashwin: Thanks. I guess you didn't see me sneaking around. You are a bad influence, though. I put my name on the list at Glazers for an X1, yesterday.

Matt, I was in Seattle long time ago. You are making me want to come again. I love them market places. Regards.
Rayyan: Thanks. I'd love to see the markets in your part of the world!

Thanks very much, yes you'll need the visoflex to use this kind of lens.
visoflex III + M8 + Televit + Telyt 400
Bébèrt: These are awesome. That's a very imposing lens. the detail and color look great. Water looks very cold.

Cheers, Matt
