Day 6 - Ali and Cat Explore Ahead
Snowy weather closing in
|
The jet stream blows snow over the top of the
Annapurnas. The entire northern mountain face is in shadow, but
the windblown snow catches the orange sunset on the opposite
side, lighting the ridge-line in an eerie glow, as if the
summit of the ice-bound mountain is on fire. The fiery image
dies, and curtains of mist swoop as if drawn across a stage.
Prayer flags shiver on rooftops, darkness envelops us. Purged,
the energy dissipates.
