The panorama of the majestic Himalayas takes my breath away

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 17, 2008:
Winter is the perfect time here to experience the majestic Himalayan peaks towering over me as I walk or drive at the right place and moment. And yesterday when I caught a glimpse of it, I was moved to tears. Even if I have seen these panorama so many times, there are still those special moments that catch me in surprise and awe. The view is just not the same all the time. And they were even more awesome when we went to the resort town of Pokhara in October, as they are much nearer, though they were a bit shy and often veiled in mist at that time.

Wow, amazing describtion - do you have any pictures?
Hugs
That would be enough to take your breath away. Whew, beautiful!! Thanks for sharing it with us…can almost picture those majestic peaks.
Sounds incredible!
Ohhhh, I dream of mountains! Seriously. This seems fantastic! S
I wish I could see the Himalayan peaks today… to give me a touch from Heaven…
I couldn’t agree more Mila…the crimson hues brushing the peaks, created by the low angle of the sun esp in dec near solstice is a humbling experience. I just got back from a heli trip into some of Canada’s highest peaks in the St.Elias Range & managed to capture some beautiful images of this spectacle. I will post a swack of them some time before the end of the wkd. Hope all is well…twb:)
Ooops, my reply went poof. Try again!
Claudia, didn’t have my camera on hand at that special moment. Will remember to carry one within the next few days and catch the peaks again. Thank you for your visit!
Kathy, always thrilled to read from you! I think I will find some of our photos during our trip to Bandipur and Pokhara to show the peaks.
Nice of you to drop in, Jessica!
As fantastic as the beholder, Sherri!
Come on over to Kathmandu, Mona! Find some pics up here in a while! Thanks for passing by!
Hi Pat! Can’t wait to see the Canadian Rockies! Wonderful of you to pass by here!
Mila thanks for the trip. I just googled myself to that neck of the woods and must admit I’m impressed. The mountains take my breath away, especially such large ones. Dhaulagiri use to be thought as the largest mountain in the world, but it’s only Number 7 now… as if that’s dimishing it :-) Here’s a little YouTube I found embedded in google maps.
I lived in Anchorage AK for eleven years and know what big mountains are.
Mt. Denali or McKinley as outsiders like to call it, is very impressive. I was blessed to have seen it on a cloudless day back in ‘82 with my Father as we started our trip from Anchorage to Danali National Park. That’s about 175 miles away, by the time we arrived in the park the Mountain was all you could see.
Thanks again for stirring up these thought images.
Absolutely awe inspiring…I LOVE mountains!
Great to see you here, Lars! Am so grateful for the opportunity to be with the Himalayas. I’ve had so many unforgettable rendezvous with this youngest mountain chain in the world. In my first ever trek to the mountain village of Ghandruk, I remember arriving at the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) after a long arduous uphill trek and was awestruck and speechless when in front of me was the massive snow-white Annapurna range almost a stone-throw away. My husband and I sat at the edge of the cliff, our feet dangling and our eyes glued at the marvelous panorama for what seemed like eternity. That scene has always been with me. And yes, I would also love to experience the Alaskan mountains and all other mountains I may be blessed to meet in my lifetime.
I felt there are things we shared, and this love of mountains is just one of them. Wonderful of you to show up here, Helen! Hugs!
When I was reading 1988
Living with the Himalayan Masters
I immediately had some flashbacks to the time when I was 15 or 16.
I dreamt repeatedly about some silhouettes of the Himalaya.
Slowly they were meshing with other ones from European and American Cities.
There is a kind of psychic enrgy in these visual images.
Outstanding breathtaking panorama!
Wonderful of you to share a book you read ages ago, your dream, and your insight about mountains of the world. Yes, I can resonate with your thoughts about a psychic energy (and healing, too) in these images and these mountains’ actual beingness! Blessings, Albert!
Sometimes, in these deep moments pieces of Bach music emerge in me. His music has these dimensions too.As a critic once wrote:
About Bachs Mass in B minor:”Like a towering mountain made from primal rock, J.S. Bach’s ‘Mass in b-Minor’ dominates the musical landscape. High above the clouds we see his peak being shone on by Infinity where now other sounds are capable to pervade. The Art of Johann Sebastian Bach is the Art of his longing for Eternity.
In eternal love - love for Him - we may find access - access to the love of the Temporary within Infinity, of the Limited within Eternity. A longing for the Unknown, the Mystical and Secretive, for Truth to be discovered - a longing which may be satisfied only by searching …”
Oh wow, Albert! Thank you for sharing this critic on J.S. Bach’s music. I agree that his music dominates like the Himalayan peaks and that it is the art of his longing for eternity - very poetic!
