It’s dusty light and extremely colorful. There are no pavements on the outer ring roads, the bitumen ends and dirt begins. The sounds of horns and crows blend. There seems to be a huge amount of buses in proportion to other vehicles and to heck with health and safety, they are packed to capacity.

Images from Nepal.
These are just f ew images taken over the past few days. the colors just explode and its almost as if I am living in a painting.
Paubhas painting.
Our first stop was at a traditional painting studio.
Paubhas are painted on a rectangular piece of canvas. It is prepared by applying a mixture of buffalo glue and white clay on it. The surface is then rubbed with a smooth stone to give it polish. The painting is done according to the rules and dimensions handed down by tradition, and artists cannot exercise their creativity.
Day one, the Great Boudha Stupa and the history area of Bhaktapur.
The air was crisp and a heavy cloud of dew settled over all who ventured out. The sun produced an orange glow to everything and it can be the most difficult time to photograph and also the most exciting because of the interesting light. We met, for the first time as a group on that walk, sharing conversation with each other, and also some of he locals who’s smile would welcome you with friendliness.

Today the sun was shining, the day was warm and begged me to take a walk. The hollywood walk of fame is just a few blocks away from my hotel so I wandered down there. Past the historic Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and I stood on the pavement and watched the crowd.

Rural roundup – a quilting Odyssey.
Women in cars, buses and carriages of all kinds descended on the town on Friday but they didn’t come empty handed. Quilts for show and tell, coolers full of cheeses and wine and other dietary ‘necessities’ and the stories unwound as the conversation flowed.
