A Citadel Above A Sea of Clouds

Every evening I watched as clouds rolled in and blocked much of the view while spending a month photographing the Everest Region of Nepal. I had climbed the mountain of Gokyo Ri in hopes of seeing the epic lakes down below. However, once again the clouds rolled in and blocked my view of the valley floor. This time I was high enough to be above them and so decided to stay and wait for sunset. The sea of clouds ended up being the most beautiful sunset inversion I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
