Moonlit Surf and Mist Above Kathmandu Pass in beside a summit cairn above the tree line near Kathmandu

Moonlit Surf and Mist Above Kathmandu Pass

by Clifford Mata

Silver ripples of low ground mist stretch across the valley floor beneath a stark mountain ridge. A stone cairn marks the summit, its rough granite texture sharp against the deep indigo of the night sky. Starlight scatters faintly off the swirling fog, creating a soft, glowing horizon line below the jagged peaks. Wind distorts the mist into thin, horizontal veils that drift rapidly across the frame. The scene remains silent and still, with the cold light highlighting the rough edges of the stones. One shadow from the cairn falls across the nearest rock, at the base of the composition in the high-altitude darkness.
