Response to 'Not a Dang!'
Hello and thanks for taking the time to comment on my picture. It is probably worth mentioning that my title for this particular photo 'Dang' was actually my use of the euphemism 'Damn' sometimes use by people in North America (or USA) as opposed to suggesting that this was the region the photo was taken in. I am fully aware that this is in the Everest region since I was the one to take the photo whilst in the Everest region. For clarity I will of course amend said title of the picture so it doesn't confuse people in the future.....I hope this is sufficient
