I think we all have preconceived notions of what places we haven't been to might look like and those gardens come as a surprise to me ...

Shot near Mesa Verde, CO. The green in the Milky Way is called air glow. It's very faint to the human eye, but my camera was able to capture these wondrous colors during a 3 minute exposure.  |

3-minute exposure? I'm surprised you got stars as points of light.

I typically use a star tracker on my tripod for these kind of shots. This allows up to a 5-6 minute exposure with no star trails. Stock photo of the tracker I use -  |

I stumbled on this old Sadhu "Holy Man", while visiting the city of Pashupatinath near Katmandu, Nepal. He was living in a small, ancient mausoleum in the cemetery. His dreadlocks must have been 10 feet long!  |

Remembering my American Alpine Institute expedition to Ecuador 1995. We summited the 3 highest volcanoes in Ecuador. Highest was Chimborazo at 20,703ft.  Got high altitude sickness on all 3 summits : hyperventilating, nausea, fatigue. Kept reminding myself I was on vacation - LOL. Definitely something I'm proud of, but not much fun. Difficult to even take photographs on the climbs.  I remembering trying to navigate through these incredible crevasses on this glacier was a little nerve wracking. Trusting in your crampons and ice axe to keep a firm footing!  |

20k ft is certainly asking for trouble if doing it without oxygen.
A mixture of brain fogging and dangerous crevasses doesn't sound like a good mixture to me!
