| Everest from Buddha Air |
Someone asked me the other day about Kathmandu and it prompted me to dip into my photos from last November to try and capture that crazy, coveted city nestling beneath the Himalayas. It abounds in colour, costume, religion and oozes a generous hospitality. A globally aware place that has its roots in local culture and tradition. Sadus, who may have given up material wealth, but still charge the world's travellers for a photo shot; street markets that vibrate with colour and energy; urbanized grazing animals that shit randomly; buildings that no architect could ever design; and an eclectic mix of religious imagery that is too complex to be hostage to bigotry.
We flew around Everest at dawn with Buddha Air and then spent the rest of the day inhaling the atmosphere of this quite stupendous World Heritage Site.
