If you stand by the Raikot Glacier looking at Nanga Parbat then then turn 180’ towards the North you’ll see Rakaposhi 25,551 ft. in the Karakoram Range - they say the two greet each other in the morning - it’s a magnificent sight. These are iPhone snaps - when I get back I’ll have the DSLR camera shots

This photo is interesting - not cos of my nephew posing (it was his birthday) but he’s at a place called ‘view point’ a special place where the 3 mountain ranges meet at the mighty River Indus - behind him to the right the great Himalaya range which starts far to the East from the borders of Burma and India comes to an end - to the left of the photo and overlapping the end of the Himalayan slope, the Hindu Kush range ends at that slope - to the rear of them both, dark and rising up and vanishing behind rises the Karakoram range -

This group of photos could have been taken on a pin hole camera and they would still be stunning. @ibbz thanks for sharing.
