63.06 Nepal: Pokhara: Contrasting scenes from lake level with that of mountain positions.

  We wander at lake level for a short while, and then head into the mountains.  The still, calm waters with a polished sheen and a hue of blues join with reflections of clouds to provide stunning and tranquil views, not forgetting soul enriching moments. After a wild scooter ride, Jen elects to take the bus home. And we tell everyone that we walk and hike. We slipped...(we kid)   It’s probably not wise to predict what will occur or even try to gauge possible occurrences—it could leave a person flat-footed or perhaps on a wild ride.

63.05 Nepal: Pokhara: Phewa Lake, a 'reflecting stroll' plus a couple of perspective views from the mountains.

Perhaps this is a visual explanation of tranquility. (One of us loves reflections). Add in a personal touch.

A water-color change Sarangkot Peak above a casual boating dock. On the other side of the lake, a dearth of visitors. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey
