Fleecy Clouds over the barren Himalayan land

This photo was taken near Lomanthang, a remote place in Nepal that falls under Annapurna Conservation Area. In 3000+ meters altitude where winds turn harsher than storm almost everyday by afternoon, how can you even expect some greenery! Look at those uniform longitudinal furrows over rocks, resembling pillars from a distance. Those are nothing but artistic whims of dry wind reigning Tibetan plateau! Doesn't it look like these little fleecy clouds are abandoning the barren Himalayan land before afternoon winds turn up?
