Relative Something

Returning to my image archives, I present this shot from my trek in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. It suits the long trek that Cyndie and I are embarking on in living in two different cities, 1400 miles apart. I remember that I took this picture in an attempt to capture the source of dust that we breathed as every step kicked up a cloud of dirt and yak dung that exacerbated the abuse my lungs were already suffering from leaky wood-burning stoves and thin air of the high elevation. Long treks can be broken down into small steps, and tough times can include plenty of special moments.
