Late sun at Muztagh Ata

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Camping near the Karakoram Highway, close to the Tajik border. The sun is about to set and the light is very soft and nice. The peaks in the background are Kuksay to the left and Muztagh Ata in the center. On the right you can see the lower slopes of Koskulak.
All three peaks are over 7000 meters and belong to the Kunlun Shan in China.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks! I was in the same spot three days ago. Not as good weather as in the photo, but the three giants (Kuksay, Muztagh Ata and Koskulak) were as impressive as always.

Awesome assemblage

Voted 10/10

But I must confess it is really hard to imagine the token Westerner adequately assimilating into such a scene. We simply don't have the endless dramatic landscapes dotting our horizons. ...Simply can't imagine it--then again, you parlaid your skills and experience to be able to sample such grandeur. Congrats on the photo and the mind bending journey!
