When I lived in Kathmandu, we were walking distance to Swayambunath Stupa. I used to love to wander around, especially early in the morning. It was very sacred and very public at the same time.
Now that is an exotic location that I personally will never have the opportunity to see in person. You were quite fortunate to have experienced all of that. Great photographs.
I've got my PhotoHunt entry up at http://www.anniemayhem.com/cgi-bin/wordpress/ in case you're interested. If you do visit, please leave a comment and feel free to explore the rest of my little blog.

Beautiful pointed structure :)
Have a good weekend!
Hey Colin, how many people can say that? "When I lived in Kathmandu..." It's a bit unique!
You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I can support Alessandro through his early pool ventures.... and when he turns pro, he can support me!
I like that idea. :)
He's up against 400 men in the Mens World Masters and he's up against the top junior in the world in round one of the Junior World Masters.
I wonder where he will go next?
That looks like a beautiful place :)
Have a great weekend!
What a marvellous shot of a beautiful building Colin. Happy weekend

Great shot, Colin. I know Kathmandu well.
Made two trips there.
What beautiful pics! You have won me with Kathmandu! I always wanted to at least visit!
Beautiful. I wonder how they clean something as high as that.
Great shot, I love the eyes. Kathmandu - the very sound conjures mystery.
Good shots for the photohunt. I would love to one day visit Kathmandu. Happy Photohunt Saturday!
Beautiful building.
Have a great weekend.
nice 'pointed' angle of a beautiful structure. enjoy photo hunting!
Now there is something not a lot of people have seen. I wish I were one of the lucky ones.
Those are really beautiful pictures!

Kathmandu... conjures up all sorts of images. How wonderful to have lived there. Beautiful shots!
Those are great shots. Nice to have public places that are still very sacred. Happy weekend.
I would love to get up close to a Stupa. That's a great photo.
Fabulous photos Colin. I'm right there with Leslie when the comment states "How many people can say they lived in Kathmandu"!!!!

Scrapbooking and Photography
Wonderful photos. They are both great. I always wanted to visit Kathmandu.

Love points like these on interesting structures...
Looks like you are living somewhere exotic...
excellent post, informative and to the point. I always like your entry.
Such amazing structures. So many Asian buildings are pointed, I wonder why?
I did Photo Hunt today, too! Come see mine and put your link up. :)

Pointing heavenwards majestically! I also like the flapping of the Buddhist prayer flags against the blue sky.
