This is the Mongla Stupa in the Khumbu Region of Nepal. This is my 2019 favorite because I took it while my husband and I were on a 15 day trek from Lukla to Gokyo. The trip included summiting Gokyo Ri (17575 ft) at sunrise to view Mt Everest. We had hoped for many nights of astrophotography but this was the only clear night. We were lucky enough to be staying in the tea house right above this stupa. It was a magical trip that I will never forget.

This image was from literally the last hours of the second storm chasing trip I have ever taken. The first trip was in 2022. The second in 2023. Neither trip produced the storms and images I dreamed of. Both years we hit the dry week in between spectacular storm weeks.
