The Orange Hand, Kathmandu - Nepal Within the walls of Pashupatinath, the expansive Hindu temple grounds in Kathmandu, you will find many small doors and nooks; fabulously carved and adorned with dyes and marigolds.

Morning Snow, Pheriche - Nepal The spring morning dawns with a fresh layer of snow in the valley near Pheriche. During the next eight hours there would be three helicopter flights to this area to evacuate injured and altitude-stricken trekkers from the Khumbu, back to Kathmandu. Even one of the locals was transported because of a complex elbow fracture sustained in a fall from a snowy tin roof while clearing snow. Even this beautifully transient amount of snow can be dangerous.

The Pink Wall, Kathmandu - Nepal Within one of the cavern like alleys of "Meat Street" was this small doorway; an exposed lintel, a classic and ancient dead bolt, mud repairs, the traditional green paint of so many Nepali doors - and a mysterious ghostly pink fading into the troweled stucco. Exploring the catacombs of old Kathmandu is to take a step back in time.
