Re: An ode to mountains
Maybe this sounds a bit picky, but at least three of them are mislabeled.
The one that is labeled Annapurna is in reality Machhapuchchhre. Denali and Mont Blanc are also mislabeled. Those photos might be taken in the vicinity(?), but they aren't of those mountains.
Also, the Hot Springs of Absalon are on Martinique, not St Lucia.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
