Nepal Moon Rays ~ The Nilgiri Himal (up to 7061m) in the Annapurna Range is casting long downwards shadows across the moonlit sky. Photographed from the village of Marpha (2700m) by Radek Grochowski of Poland.

"The rays were so obvious that anybody that looked up would see them immediately. The lower photo is zoomed on the Nilgiri peaks. Photographs were taken with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-200 lens."
