Tried to make most out of quick trip to Nepal. Kathmandu is interesting place with so much to see from beautiful natural landscapes to crowded streets.Hinduism and Budhism seems like two main faiths with a lot presence in shape of temples, mandirs and devoted followers.

    I came back for a second look. I'm still in awe of how you're able to capture the life of all the places you've visited in a way that makes me feel like I'm there.

    Beautiful, these really have some lovely colors. The kids playing football looks just like something from my childhood in Africa or one of many games Ive seen in Mexico. Guess some things are truly international :)
