This is Annapurna Mountain from the Annapurna Base Camp. Its fairly scratched up because I made the mistake of having my film developed in India. The negatives came back really scratched.

Durbar Square, Kathmandu. A Sadhu takes a couple of moments to feed the pigeons. The red of the building and of the Sadhu’s clothing contrasted with the grey of the pigeons beautifully. I loved the serenity of this moment.

BETTER ENLARGED! Ama Dablam (6856m) is very visible for many days while walking the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal. Ama means ‘mother’ and Dablam means ‘pearl’, hence Mother and Pearl. The ‘pearl’ refers to the perennial hanging glacier at the base of the summit section. Many regard it as the most beautiful of the Himalayan peaks. Camera: Nikon D200, lens: 18-200 VR.

According to his friends at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, this sadhu has never cut his hair. He relies, instead, on friction to help him avoid that messy, unkempt look.

This long suffering Sadhu had set up residence at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Critically Endangered The Bengal tiger, or Royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris or Panthera tigris bengalensis) is a subspecies of tiger primarily found in Bangladesh, India, and also Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and southern Tibet. The white bengel tiger is not an albino, it has blue eyes. The white coat and light features are caused by a recessive gene. Very few survive in the wild because they do not have the ability to camoflauge themselves in their suroundings. Sadly, there are those who breed them for their exotic looks all for money. Because they occur so rarely, many orange tigers die or are mistreated in the process. Tigers are solitary hunters. They love the water, and are not afraid to chase their prey down into the water. In fact, this is how tigers often get food. The wait for an animal to be drinking at a water hole, then scares the animal into the water, where the tiger will chase it farther into deeper waters, making it easier to catch. Tigers have retractable claws. This enables them to walk through rocky, grassy, muddy, or sandy areas without dulling their claws, which they need to hunt with. Tigers eat almost anything in their range that they can catch. Large and medium sized prey, ungulates, rabbits, wild boar, deer, buffalo, young elephants and rhinos, waterfowl, and elk, make up the majority of their diet. They stalk their prey, and pounce when they are about 30 feet from their quarry. They kill by a lethal bite to the back of the throat, which often dislocates the backbone and severs the spinal cord. Often, a lethal bite is applied to the throat, which cuts off air supply and asphyxiates (suffocates) the animal. Tigers can eat as much as 40 lb (18 kg) of meat in one sitting. Tigers, like other felines, need to eat some grass to provide nutrients and roughage. Tigers will usually avoid humans because they do not provide much meat, and they prefer the taste of wild game. However, if a tiger becomes a maneater, there is usually a reason for it. One reason is that the tiger is very old, to the point where his teeth are worn down, and cannot catch wild game anymore. Humans are much easier to catch and kill, so they prey on humans. Another, more common reason, is the tiger was injured or sick, and can no longer hunt for itself. However, many tigers, like those that live in the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, seem to have a taste for humans. No one knows why they do this, as these tigers are young and healthy. Some speculate that they are guarding their territory, others think that the salty waters in the marsh they drink makes them irritable. These tigers, however, do not come into human settlements, they only kill humans that have wandered too far into the mangrove forests. People who venture into the forests to gather wood and food wear masks on the backs of their heads since tigers only attack them from behind. Since they started this, the numbers of tiger attacks have been greatly reduced. However, once a tiger becomes a man-eater, it will not cease, and has to be destroyed to protect people.

Prayer flags and tombstones of Thokla Pass 4830m with Himalayan mountain scenery in the Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal. Ama Dablam 6856m dominates the skyline in the centre of the photo with Taboche Peak 6367m to the right and Pokalde 5806m to the left. It was a five hour climb from Dingboche to Thokla pass and the culmination of happiness at reaching so high up amongst the world’s highest peaks was also filled with the emotion of seeing the rock cairn memorials of the climbers who had died in those mountains. Every step of the two hour walk to Lobuche that afternoon was an effort, walking across a rocky moonscape at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier. The prayer flags represent the elements of the five pure lights with blue being sky, white air, red fire, green water and yellow earth. The ancient Buddhist prayers, mantras and powerful symbols displayed on them produce a spiritual vibration that is activated and carried by the wind across the land. The Wind Horse (Lung-ta) carrying the “Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment” is the most prevalent symbol used on prayer flags and represents good luck. Featured in Flags in Motion and Himalaya. /

Monks putting the final touches to a sand mandala at Thyangboche Monastery, Nepal. The mandala is made for the Mani Rimdu festival which starts on the full moon of October. It is later then ritually dismantled and the sand washed into the Imja Khola river which is a tributary of the great Dudh Koshi (milk river). This is symbolic of the transient nature of things. For the monks the beauty rests in the meditative process of creation. Nikon D80, Nikkor AF-DX Fisheye 10.5mm / F2.8, 1/60, ISo 450 / /

Evening at Dingboche with new moon and fresh snow on Ama Dablam, Nepal. This was such a magical experience. It started snowing late in the afternoon and then cleared just on dusk as the moon came out. Nikon D80, Nikkor AF-DX Fisheye 10.5mm at 10.5mm / F 2.8, 1/8, ISO 1600 Featured in That One Great Shot /

Who Cares… Trapped in simple conversation / Hard getting past good reason / Say how are you oh I’m doin’ just fine / They’ve said all that they can say / Then they turn and walk away / And the wounded hearts must wait another day Who cares when they’re crying / Who cares when they’re all alone / And no one knows how much they long / To find someone Who cares that they’re dying / Who cares that the road is long / And you could be the one to lead them / To the One who cares / / Captured by the rush of living / So hard to hear our brothers’ quiet cries / But freedom comes when we are willing / To open up our hearts and realize / They’ve said all that they can say / We can’t turn and walk away / ‘Cause the wounded hearts might not wait another day Who cares when they’re crying / Who cares when they’re all alone / And no one knows how much they long / To find someone / Who cares that they’re dying / Who cares that the road is long / And you could be the one to lead them / To the One who cares The Father gave His Son / To show the world how much He cares / And now it’s up to us to let them know / He cares… by Stephen Curtis Chapman / / captured in Nepal /

Enthused by compassion and wisdom / Today in Buddha’s presence / I generate the mind of compassion / For the benefit of all sentient beings. / For as long as space remains / And as long as sentient beings remain / Until then may I too remain / To dispel the suffering of all beings… by Shantideva When we are surrounded by suffering everywhere in the world, we lose our sensitivity to it. Through ignorance of mind we inflict pain and suffering on others. It is important to let suffering touch us. We may look at suffering only outside ourselves and forget to look within our own country, home and self. There is a level of suffering which is part of being alive or having a body. Also, we must realize the suffering of mind. / If compassion arises out of the awareness of suffering, and if suffering is so pervasive, why then is the world not a more compassionate place? When we look at our own experience, we discover that our hearts are not open to suffering and pain. We resist it, and in that resistance we close our hearts to compassion. If compassion is to arise, we must open to pain and allow it to enter in. But we allow our lives to be conditioned to the avoidance of pain and emotions analogous to physical pain, such as loneliness. Our lives are fragmented when we are not willing to embrace the shadow side of pain and suffering. We must learn to be compassionate, open to such feelings. This is essential if we are to come to wholeness. The more we resist, the more we feed what we resist. / What prevents us from being open? The basic ignorance of thinking, acting and believing that happiness can be found if we amass the right pleasures. We have all experienced many pleasant things in life, but have they brought us happiness? There is nothing wrong in pleasant experiences. It is the craving that is wrong. The craving mind seeks pleasant feelings; but feelings come and go; they are never really satisfying. This creates an endless cycle. The very cycle of craving is the cause of suffering. Craving says that we are not complete… Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal /

This woman sold rice meals with potato curry and fish, and hot milky tea, from a shack near the lake in Pokhara, Nepal. For a few rupees, locals, and backpackers living on the cheap, could fill up with nutritious food. Squatting on public land by the road and cooking with scavenged firewood, this woman had a good business operation with her low-cost, popular eatery. Taken in 1980, with Nikon camera and lense and kodachrome slide film.

We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to make it Khumjung on our way back down ‘the mountain’ as the weather was coming in and we were in ‘sleeping bag’ mode. Luckily, the stop offered more than a sighting of the Yeti skull and street lights!! It was already late in the afternoon and the snow had just begun to fall consistently- this lady had also obviously decided it was time to head back indoors.
