Some explanation for an absence...

Annapurna South from Ghandruk, originally uploaded by timurhammond.

I took a trip to Nepal. The centerpiece of the trip was 7 days trekking to Annapurna Base Camp (which sits a shade over 14,000 feet, but well below the summit of Annapurna itself). This photo is from our second day on the trail, a glimpse of Annapurna South before the sky filled in with clouds.
