喜馬拉雅山的 Annapurna 山脈

我們在尼泊爾的Pokhara 城等了三天才拍到的照片。大部份的時候不是雲霧遮掩，就是空氣污染而無法一睹真面目。當天天不亮我們開車到城外Sarangkot 的小山上拍得這些景觀。

尼泊爾這國家唯一能賺外匯的資源就是『山』。我懷疑有朝一日這尼泊爾的命脈就會被污染破壞無遺。

左邊的Annapurna South (南峰)海拔7219公尺
右邊的險峰是當地的聖山，Machapuchare, the "Fishtail"(魚尾峰)海拔6997公尺
Annapurna 的主峰，海拔8091公尺(26,545英尺) 被南峰擋住而無法見到。

We waited in Pokhara, Nepal for 3 days before we could get a clear shot of the Annapurna Range. Most of the time the mountains were shrouded in a veil of clouds, smog and haze. The air pollution problem is severe in Nepal. Consider yourself lucky it you get to see the mountains without difficulty. I am afraid the days of unobstructed views are numbered. One day air pollution will obliterate the only resources Nepal has known, the mountains, and the tourist dollar will dry up.
