Nice! That is, to quote the late Huell Howser, amaaaazing!

Thanks for the link, OP! I was going to go climb Everest myself, but you’ve saved me the trouble. 🙂

Hey, hey, I have a six foot by two foot framed print of this photograph. It also has all the mountains you can see, named with altitudes marked! I purchased it ( as a print, unframed), at Pilgrim’s Bookstore, in Kathmandu, Nepal!

It hangs in my dining room.

Thanks for the views, guys. I love this sort of thing.

Here’s a live, streaming (sort of) panoramic view of [Seattle and the Puget Sound](http://www.spaceneedle.com/webcam/), as seen from the Space Needle. Ooh, it’s sunny and pretty today.

That’s the only thing missing from this excellent video. The other peaks aren’t named. I can pick Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyo but then get confused.
