Wild Yak Valley (#35 in “a shining moment” series)

 

It was – in the exact words uttered earlier tonight on Australian television – “an analog, off-line experience”.

On the morning of 19 October 2019, the valley floor on which we stood was almost twice as high as Australia-proper’s highest peak.

The peaks above us were a deal higher, again.

…and yes – rather more than a thousand, mostly-vertical metres away from us – wild yaks were making their way across a snow-blanketed alpine meadow.
