Back

Spent a lot of time today talking to monks, and locals making merit at the temples. One of the things that makes Nepal such a great destination for photographers is that people will stop you and ask to have their photo taken.

Gotta be ready!

Bhaktapur just always throws a party when we hit town! Processions of drums and dancing moving through the streets today, right as we arrived at the palace square.

Such joyful folks. Newari is the main ethnic group in this part of Kathmandu Valley.

The late afternoon light was in a race with the thunder storms. It was beautiful to watch.

Goodnight from somewhere in Kathmandu Valley.

Rice harvest in Bhaktapur. The city streets are filled with the harvest, and drying the grain.

I love the streets that turn into produce markets of a morning.

Last week I posted an article about Negative Space and how positive it can be for your compositions. And sometimes I write articles that mostly exist to cement the idea inside my own head :)

Offerings at Swayambunath, Kathmandu Valley.

Pretty darned good day today. Sky high in the Himalayas, enjoying apple pancakes and soaking in the sunshine at 2600m.

@ewen I like the blurred foreground. It frames the shot nicely!
