Annapurna- shrouded in mist and mystery 2
Pokhara, Nepal - October 1984; Pokhara used to be famed as the small town where old hippies went to fade away... but it is so much more. It offers stunning views - like this - of Mount Annapurna. This was totally cloud-covered for three days when we were there - just this flash of the summit early one morning.
Annapurna is a stunning massif in the Himalayas in north-central Nepal that includes one peak over 8, 000 metres, thirteen peaks over 7, 000 metres, and sixteen more over 6, 000 metres. Thats a LOT of big mountains. And they are notoriously difficult to climb.
Annapurna I Main, shown here, is the tenth highest mountain in the world at 8, 091 metres above sea level

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Annapurna - shrouded in mist and mystery" transports us to the enchanting town of Pokhara, Nepal, back in October 1984. Once known as a refuge for old hippies seeking solace, Pokhara reveals its true essence through breathtaking views like this one of Mount Annapurna. During our visit, the mountain remained veiled by clouds for three consecutive days until a fleeting moment early one morning when its summit emerged from the mist. Annapurna is an awe-inspiring massif nestled in the Himalayas of north-central Nepal. It boasts an impressive collection of peaks: one exceeding 8,000 meters, thirteen surpassing 7,000 meters, and sixteen more towering above 6,000 meters. These colossal mountains are renowned for their challenging nature when it comes to mountaineering. The photograph showcases Annapurna I Main – the tenth highest peak globally at a staggering elevation of 8,091 meters above sea level. The image captures its majestic silhouette against a backdrop of moody blues and purples during twilight hours. The snow-capped beauty stands tall amidst a landscape that exudes both tranquility and grandeur. Jon Bower's lens skillfully portrays the remote allure and adventurous spirit associated with this magnificent massif. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene depicting vast mountain ranges stretching into infinity, we can't help but feel humbled by nature's splendor and inspired to embark on our own journey into these mystical foothills.
