That's not a picture of Everest...that's actually Lhotse. (which bumps up to Everest)

Isn't that Nuptse in the front with Lhotse behind?

After several minutes, I still can't figure out what that photo is in post #1.

It doesn't look like Nupste from any eastward angle, it's not bulky enough.

Nor does the rear mountain look like Everest, that west (left) ridge is just too steep and sharp.

To the extreme right is something that could be Lhotse Shar, but it's way too small. And then where's the Lhotse Ridge?

If it's any combination of Nuptse, Lhotse, and Everest, it's from the weirdest camera angle I've ever seen, or with some odd lens effect. The hill in the foreground is simply too close to the "Everest" massif, on the opposite side of the valley.

I've been there twice, and it doesn't resemble any photo I've taken or seen before.

I can't really say that that is Lhotse...but look at the picture I posted at 48.

Now imagine walking all the way to the right until you are standing at the "foot" of Lhotse looking up.

No way would you see anything but Lhotse.

Anyway...that's my guess of what the pix at the top of the thread is.
