Bhaktapur in Nepal

people in Bhaktapur in Nepal waiting for a performance to begin

I just got back from two weeks in Nepal and I thought I was going to write about it, but I have a cold (caught on the plane?) and I don’t feel like doing much of anything except lamenting that I feel half awake.

But I wanted to get a photograph on line to make a start, and here is this one from Bhaktapur, a town east of Kathmandu.

The people in the photo are waiting for a dance performance of something from one of the ancient Hindu mythic stories.

    Glad you’re back. I always get colds on flights. All those germs flying around in the closed space, I guess.

    Very colourful picture.

    A friend from here, in SJ, went on a photo tour of Japan — she just got back … [http://boxwithoutwalls.com] — makes me want to travel too.

    Get well soon!

    1. Thank you 🙂 Next time I will be tempted to wear a face mask on a flight. Just looked at your friend’s photos.

      Two weeks away and I feel moved – moved in my body. I put it down to the cold, but I think it is deeper. I think it is the Buddhist place I went to. Or not. Who knows 🙂

    Lovely shot. And is there anywhere on earth now that you can capture a group of people standing together without one of them gazing into a phone? Hope you feel better quickly!
