Still no sign of the Yeti... - a photo on Flickriver

Still no sign of the Yeti...

            Title: I'd previously learned my lesson through an apparent faux pas - while hiking in neighbouring Nepal - to never mention the Yeti! I did this in all innocence while sitting with our trek-guide, porter and the guesthouse-owner - where we'd stayed the night - while we all sat eating breakfast. I asked if they believed in or had ever seen signs of the Yeti, but my question was met with shocked expressions, hurried talk amongst the three of them in their own language, and then the guide completely changing the conversation - as though I hadn't asked the question at all... Oops!

Photo: Waiting for the sun to rise over the mountain-tops before we continued our journey. 
Wind seen whipping loose snow off the mountaintops and into the rising sunshine a few moments before the sunlight hit the peaks.
