Meet the Everest
It's always pleasant to be there to feel the fresh air, shiny stars. That's what the Everest could give you.
On Aug 22nd, I was so close to it, the famous Everest. I had never been so near to it. It was one of my dreams when I was a child: Meet the tallest mountain of the world, the Everest. When it became true, it gave me much more than excitement.
I took the photo on the top of a small hill 5 km far from the camp. No body could get any closer if he does not have a licence of climbing the mountain. Had been with a good luck, there were no too much cloud that day and I got a clear shot.
Talking about the cloud, I and my friends were suffered from it the day before. We went out of the camp at about 7:30pm. Cause we got there too late on that day and we still wanted to see great view in the first place. It was raining. Till now I don't know why we three agreed and insisted on heanding to the mountain. We started tracking any way. God did not show any mercy, the rain even got heavier. We just believed we could see it, the top of the Everest. So we walked on and on. After passing a military sentry (later we knew it's the No.1 base camp), we were blocked by a brook. It was 9:30pm already and seemed that we can not go any further. God opened his eyes finally, shown us the top of the Everest. Though it was not as beautiful as the one above, it was the reward for our unremitting.

"God opened his eyes finally"......haha
I think it's quite dangerous to walk in heavy rain, especially in that place.
But glad that you finally can see a glimpse of it, it's mysterious.

Oh, that's so romantic. Did you take any pic? But I guess it's quite difficult to take a photo that can reflect "the fact" of that night.

You are right... I tried hard, but I couldn't capture them. They belong to people who visit the Everest by themselves. So, you'd better go there some time:)
