it's not about the yak . .. . . but what a cool shot of Sagarmatha you got! I love the way that cloud is rolling in.

Re: it's not about the yak . .During monsoon time, it is quite frequent to see Chomolungma summit emerging, while the lower part of the mountain is in the clouds (see also this picture).
PS. I think the name Sagarmantha is as inappropriate as Everest: Sagarmantha is a recent creation by the Nepali government to give the mountain a Nepalese name.
The mountain was known since ancient times as Chomolungma by both Tibetans leaving on the north side and Sherpa on the south side. See more about the naming of Chomolungma here (in French)
or here (in English).
