Namche Bazar, Nepal, 1986 Photograph by James P. Blair Surrounded by
the majestic Himalaya, Sherpas walk along a stone wall in the verdant
hillside village of Namche Bazar, Nepal, a last stop on the way to
Mount Everest. In recent years, walls and fir saplings have been
positioned around the valley to prevent erosion caused by excessive
tree cutting in the past.

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, the National
Geographic book,  Our World's Heritage, 1986)    RELATED
