"You have been riding for hours among quiet richly wooded scenery, winding up along the side of some kind of gorge, ... then suddenly you come round a corner where the view opens up the valley, and you are almost struck senseless by the blinding splendour of that vast face of ice-hung precipices and soaring ridges, sixteen thousand feet from top to toe ...", from Mistress of Mistresses (1935) by E.R. Eddison, describing the grand Nanga Parbat in the Pakistani Himalaya. The Nanga Parbat was captured in this new featured picture by Wikimedian Waqas.usman, who spoke to The Signpost about it (see below). Please use the horizontal scroller if necessary.
