Nice shot of the Buddhist monk, papin!
Looks like a Tibetan monk walking down Swayambhunath.

I have always loved panning shots. You have the presence of mind to capture a panning of the monk walking around the prayer wheels here. Fantastic, papin!

Seeing this in B&W gives us a different feel.
Hmmm... all you guys are good. I totally totally missed this scene on that afternoon... hehehe...

12. While roaming around the area, I saw this lady so focus with her drawing. With curiousity I approached her and have small conversation about Swayambhunath Stupa.

13. This is the drawing that attracted my attention.

14. And this is the real life size model of her drawing

15. A golden spire crowning a conical wooded hill, Swayambhunath Stupa is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in Kathmandu valley. Its lofty white dome and glittering golden spire are visible for many miles and from all sides of the valley. Historical records found on a stone inscription give evidence that the stupa was already an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination by the 5th century AD.

Wah, wah, wah...campoes! Wah, what a great angle and storey telling picture indeed.
Exellent image, very well composed. :thumbsup:

19. Lung Ta (horizontal) prayer flags are of square or rectangular shape, and are connected along their top edges to a long string or thread. They are commonly hung on a diagonal line from high to low between two objects (e.g., a rock and the top of a pole) in high places such as the tops of temples, monasteries, stupas, and mountain passes

20. Swayambhunath stupa is also called the `Monkey Temple' because of the many hundreds of monkeys who scamper about the temple at night after the pilgrims and priests have departed.

21. Nepal coins

22. Many people are trying to throw coins to the bucket in the middle of the pool...probably their wish will be granted if they can throw the coins into the bucket.
