That is correct (actually none of the peaks have been summited, as far as I am aware).

Thanks for the additional information, Kevin. I didn't know that the Chinese Government was actively imposing a climbing ban. With most other very high peaks that have yet to be climbed in the region the ban has ensured that they remain unclimbed, like Mount Kailash or the high peaks of Bhutan.

It is still from the same location this image has more a landscape tone in it instead of wildlife

I think I was told whilst I was there that the world's highest unclimbed mountain is in Bhutan .... but not because of any ban but likely lack of infrastructure or difficulty in actually getting to the mountain. Can't remember the name but I'll get around to Googling it later

Kevin, I emember reading recently that the king of Bhutan has decided that the country's highest peaks would remain off limits to climbers due to religious reasons. I'm not sure how many peaks are included in this ban, but I think the world's highest unclimbed peak is among them.

This thread moves too fast!!!
The old Grain Belt sign is getting lights. The sign wasn't supposed to be lit until December 30th. Perhaps they are adding more lighting between now and then but I was surprised to see the sign lit as I drove past to work. Needless to say, I HAD to stop and get a couple of shots.

Lovely photos!
Is there a specific plugin or tool you use for the border/EXIF information or is it custom made/done by "hand"? It looks great!

LR Mogrify is what I use to make the borders. It also allows for writing exif information within the frame. For lenses that don't transfer exif to the camera, I use Lens Tagger which also requires exiftool. All are easily found with a google search.

A wish to everyone here at FM Forums for a very happy holiday, and a terrific 2018. This scene is from the plaza just in front of Lincoln Center in New York. The prominent signage heralds the annual run of The Nutcracker.
