This is a shot (panoramic) taken of Mt. Everest. At first it doesn’t seem that exotic (yes, it is pretty high up and barfeela) but then you pan around. And then…

YOU ZOOM IN!

Sorry, this is giving me all kinds of goose bumps. And its not cuz of the snow

Is it the thought of climbing all the way up and being too scared to look down that's causing the goosely bumpinos?

(The photograph is pretty darn awesome though.)

I agree with Tofi, the picture is kinda scary in a weird sort of way. I think its because from far it looks like a mountain but as you zoom in you realize the magnificent size of it. I felt so small. :confused:
