Others feature intricately carved wooden details and simple red brick.

. @williamvazqueznyc A friend and mentor whom I have known from last 5 year is a reason I love clicking pictures. He has taught me several techniques of photography, on top of everything he has taught me the importance of clicking positive pictures and still giving the message you want to give through the photo. Check out his contribution that he has done to so many NGO's all around world including @kidsofkathmandu in the presentation he has given(Link at end) and some of his amazing photographs including pictures of Everest Base camp that we did on May 2017. Willium, you are inspirational in so many way. Thank you being a true friend a mentor. Cheers. #presentation#kids#inspiration#photographer#cameravoyages #love#nepal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajg91WJ7P84&feature=youtu.be #nepal #kathmandu #cameravoyages #hikaricreative #myfeatureshoot #SDMfeatures #sdmtravels #streetdreamsmag #haftakeover #rentalmag #humbleweekendz Next to the corn vendor, another scene played out. I could have spent hours on that corner watching, but I had to keep going…

Here one is perched a few feet above the heads of passers by- each blissfully unaware of the others existence at that moment.

. A beautiful image by @michaeladalzell from our visit to a @kidsofkathmandu rebuilt school in the mountains outside Kathmandu. This was part of our trip to Nepal and trek to Everest Base Camp. #himalayas #adventuretravel #ngo #aventurephotography #photography #photoworkshop #doinggood #travel #portrait #documentaryphotography #cameravoyages #Repost @michaeladalzell ・・・ The wonderful kids of Jana Chetena higher secondary school break for recess. Their energy is undeniable and completely contagious! Kavre, Nepal 2017. #nepal #kathmandu #swayambhunath #monkeytemple #cameravoyages #hikaricreative #myfeatureshoot #SDMfeatures #sdmtravels #streetdreamsmag #haftakeover #rentalmag All around the base of the stupa is a ring of prayer wheels, the tarnished surfaces worn from the constant action of people spinning them as they walk clockwise around. Even the stray cow was walking that direction. The embossed words on the wheels read om mani padme hum, which means roughly "hail to the jewel in the lotus."

The stupa seems to have sustained little earthquake damage, while all around it you see piles of bricks and wood, and crumbled structures. And more monkeys.
