Hi Bjorn,

Approx 5100 above sea level. The right sunglasses are manadoty too. Funny thing: almost no animals, no insects. However a family of colorfull ducks (or gooses?) was living there ;-)

I would have severe breathing problems at that altitude. But thanks to your efforts, can at least enjoy the scenery :D

Very nice Psilo. The birds are partridge, possibly Red Legged Partridge

Very nice images, they fit in my category.  ;D
I've been in the Himalayas a few times, even at even higher altitude, but always in summertime so no snow.

Great images psilo.
Birds have flow-through lungs, so they do a lot better than us at high altitude.
