FoxClocks. Timely News.

Some pics from the deep south of Argentina and Chile.

FoxClocks 2.9.35 is awaiting approval from the editors at addons.mozilla.org (which typically takes upwards of two weeks); you can download it here, or wait for it to be approved, at which point Firefox should automatically download the new version.

If you’re experiencing Firefox lockups on Mac, do consider downloading this version.

[Edited from 2.9.33.]

Looks like FoxClocks is impacting Firefox startup times. See here:

I’ll be looking into this issue when I return from vacation in early May.

A new version of FoxClocks is awaiting approval from the editors at addons.mozilla.org; you can download it here, or wait for it to be approved, at which point Firefox should automatically download the new version.

Some pics from Peru and Bolivia. A work-in-progress…

I think this shot from the minor peak of Gokyo Ri makes a good desktop (right-click and save for much bigger). For a sense of scale, check out the blue roofs of the village of Gokyo 600m below.

More photos from the ‘Salpa Arun to Gokyo’ trek here.

I recently ran across a few slide scans from a trip to Ethiopia in 2005. Hopefully I’ll dig out some more; in the meantime, here are a few shots from Lalibela and Harar:

Rather belatedly, some mountainy scenes from AB.

And a couple of little videos:

After some downtime in Kathmandu, I joined the legendary yakshaver and friends for a walk round the Manaslu massif, including a detour to the remarkable Tsum valley. As the Manaslu trail wound down I headed west and north on the trail round Annapurna, while the rest of the group returned to Kathmandu. Here are some photos; descriptions to follow. Honestly.

I was lucky enough to spend October and November 2009 back in Nepal. In October I trekked from Tumlingtar, low down on the banks of the Arun Kosi, to the Gokyo valley high in the Everest region. Here are some photos from that trip.
