Sunrise in the Himalayas
Each morning dozens of trekkers wake up at 5am to begin the thousand-foot climb from Ghorepani (9,500') to the summit of Poon Hill (10,531'). They make this pilgrimmage in the dark in order to witness one of the most spectacular scenes in the Himalayas (or the planet for that matter)...sunrise on Poon Hill.
This is a photograph scanned from a film negative. It was not "photoshopped", other than to adjust the brightness/contrast levels and to reduce some of the scanner noise.
