A field note is one checkable fact, with the source named underneath.
Source: Wikipedia, "Leh"
Every valley is a hive
Hexagon cells, chamfered cards and hex-cut buttons. Each hive wears the colours it is known for: a dark ground, a metallic foil, an accent ink for text on paper and a light tint.
Altitude is information
The altimeter rail, sleeping-altitude profiles and the 3,000 m line show height as data, not decoration.
Facts carry sources
Field notes, prices marked indicative 2026 and photo credits on every image. Plain words, no exclamation marks.

Leh gets about 35 mm of rain a year. What you see is bare brown and violet rock, then a sudden green strip of barley and willow wherever a glacier stream has been led into fields.
