As another night arrives at Himalayas, stars appear and by the Earth rotation they rise above the top of the world in this long exposure image. The scene was recorded in late November from altitude of 3600 meters near Namche Bazaar, Nepal, gateway to the Himalayan mountain range. Moonlight illuminated the peaks left to right: Everest (8840 meters), to Lhotse (the world's 4th highest at 8516 meters), and the outstanding Ama Dablam (6812 m) at right. A stupa (a Buddhist religious monument) is also visible in the foreground, along the main trail to the Everest Base Camp. The light in the valley is from the Tengboche Monastery, an important religious center for Sherpa community, which is also along the trail at about 4000 meters.
