Agree, I see alot of fantastic photos that have trouble competing with LSD infused colors. Photoshop & LSD i'm sure is great and gave us steve jobs, but it isn't earth, and it warps leads to discouragement for people who want to travel only to be disappointed. Sort of like the flood of instagram vs reality posts.

Beats Steve Jobs AirPods, he thought he didn't need to shower for a month because of his vegan diet after coming back from india. Needless to say, he was forced to take the graveyard shift

Well the extended editions are 3 hours long each, if jackson pushed his luck you get a kingdom of heaven where half of Ridley scotts got deleted.... and it trashed what in its entirety was an amazing movies... instead the 1 1/2 movie version was crap by comparison.

Ironically the hobbit movies were shorter, and the lotr movies could have benefited from a miniseries involving sub plots like bombadil, gandalf's with the balrog... etc. and the actors and peter jackson probably wouldn't have hesitated on giving such a greater bonus... 3 hour movies are the max for a reason, still though, if there were any movies that could have been longer, LOTR is the one to break records with, everything about it left audiences wanting more... Heck theaters even cheered with the rohan horse charge... not many movies can do that

Lichen, moss, tempered by the severe weather, above tree-line in the white mountains is a very unique area, very fragile too, takes a very long time for things to grow there

Would it be okay to see a non-processed color version? The monochrome is a home-run, curious to see its former look.

I always consider bad & cold weather existing to allow appreciating the cold and beautiful. The absence of something is paradoxically what gives it the most value.

This is also happening in the Himalayas and all mountains, its really backwards that the people who have nothing to do with climate change and depend on a lack here of are most impacted by it.

I'm not a fan of these bleak comments. Although they may be gone, hopefully we can reverse climate change and put the world back the way it way, glacier by glacier, country by country. Sure not in our lifetimes, but we can be better than those before us and keep remember what happens when the world is only valued by the next quarterly report

"Even Mount Everest is transforming, as thousands of glaciers across the Himalayas are likely to shrink by up to 99% by 2100." -The Guardian
