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 098A91DE-C334-453C-BA81-15DF09444EB5.jpeg A679B3B3-33AC-43BC-9C14-615A1B91C906.jpeg 82FE6BEF-8BE4-426C-B3EF-728965956493.jpeg 41C3AE28-1A4D-4478-AD86-668EBD6F9481.jpeg 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 -
