Gorgeous capture, Ross! And, I know how you feel about discovering "new" images in the vault after quite some time. And there is a good chance that you keep on discovering those keepers after a few years even.

#1 was taken 13 kms distant from Gurla Mandhata, a towering block of granite 7700m in elevation. It's #34 in elevation, in the world. #2 looks over (fresh water) Lake Manasarovar (4580m) from Gotsel Gompa. #3 is the icy Rakshas Tal, next door to LM. Zeiss 100mm f3.5 Sonnar, Sony a7r. I want to include in this set one of Mt Kailash's 1500m north face, shot on Velvia with a Fuji GW 690 (five elements in five groups with five aperture blades, about 40mm eq.).

Captured in the Westfalenpark, this is a marble sculpture of a nude female figure, created in 1935 by the German artist August Kranz. The sculpture stands in front of the historic "Torfhaus" (Peat House), which today houses an art gallery – a fitting transformation, as art now inhabits a space once used for peat storage. Although this sculpture has been exposed to wind and weather for 91 years, it still looks so vivid and realistic, as if it were about to stand up and walk away.
On the left behind the hedge, my female Akita Inu is hurrying with quick steps to become part of the picture.
