Rows of brass butter lamps burning with small yellow flames in a dark temple interior.

Butter lamps burning at a Buddhist temple in Kathmandu, Nepal

Quotes

Altitude confuses your sense of time. You think you’ve been doing something for fifteen minutes, but you’ve been doing it for an hour. At altitude, it’s as if there’s a house burning, and the house that’s burning is you, but everything’s happening at such a dragged-out pace you can’t do anything about it. Just watch the house burn down.
Conrad Anker
