Majestic mountains
Trekking up to Fairy Meadows - a close-up view of part of Nanga Parbat (Killer Mountain).


Nanga Parbat, 8125m high and rising by 7mm every year, faster than almost any other part of the Himalaya chain. The 2nd highest peak in Pakistan and the 9th highest in the world . It is located in Azad Kashmir in the western Himalayas . The sharpest elevation differences found anywhere on earth are here: almost 7 vertical kilometres from the summit into the adjacent Indus gorge.

I wonder how much of this gorgeous scenery and clean air will survive such Chinese investment as the $1.5 billion oil refinery China plans to build in K-P. (Why build an oil refinery in mountains and forest, anyway?)

If You Had Something Even Remotely Known As Common Sense You Would Know That These Mountains Are In Chitral Kohistan and GB.

And That Refinery Is Going To Be Built In Kohat/Karak:tsk:
 
Ultar Peak (7.388 m)
Ultar Peak summit as seen from Karimabad (Hunza valley, Pakistan) using a 300mm zoom (35mm equivalent).


In no other place on Earth I have had such strong feeling that a mountain is reaching the sky and falling over me.


This picture was originally taken in RAW, but it is nearly unprocessed, trying to keep its light as similar as possible to the original view. I personally don't like overprocessed/HDR landscape pictures. Reality is impressive enough! :)
