Mt Kilimanjaro-- Photos by Others
This was probably taken from the opposite of the mountain from when I was. It shows a larger amount of snow cover than when I was there. I'm not sure if this is due to time of year, varying amounts of snow on different sides of the mountian, climate change, year to year variations, or something else (or maybe all of the above).
This photo is from Colin de la Rue’s , “Eight Up” web site: (http://www.eightup.co.uk/eight-climbs/mount-kilimanjaro : accessed 28 Jan 2013). There does not seem to be a date associated with it. This photo is included because it clearly shows more snow on the sides of the mountain than in October 2012. As indicated above, his photo may have been taken from the opposite side of the mountain from the side visible from the two parks in Kenya (I visited several parks in Kenya and Tanzania, but the mountain was visible from only Amboseli and Tsavo West, both in Kenya).
