A 'peek' of gold.

The sunlit peak of Kanchendzonga peeking through the cloud cover. As time went on the light shone more intensely on the peak making it glow brighter. This picture is exactly how it was over there in that magical moment. Photo taken from the Lamune campsite on the Yuksom-Gochela trek. 4:44pm
