Lord Shiva statue, which for us, culminates in an incredible hike from 2nd Avenue, Pokhara, up past Shanti Stupa.
We noticed this icon last trip but it was under construction. It is a multi-faceted figure of Lord Shiva, providing 4 views of life per the Hindu faith. The weather has spoiled us 'rotten' during this trip. One can almost blink an eye and it's sufficient to summon the Annapurna Mountain Range, a subset of the Himalayas, to appear. We dare not blink both eyes, then again...
Jen pays another visit, incurring heavy stress on the muscles, while Lord Shiva continues to rest. Nothing changes.
You might have noticed the fabulous Annapurna Range has disappeared...it is inclined to do that regularly, as 'warned' recently. We blinked...see 2nd picture above for our magical powers of 'blinking'. In the background, Sarangkot remains...could not get away for the holidays.
From temple to temple. A view of Shanti Stupa, the Japanese Peace Pagoda, seen from below Shiva. We just returned from a couple of days stay in the building below with the light-blue roof. Talk about 'A room with a view'.
Did not take long for us to begin missing the stunning sights of this reaching 26,000 feet range, Annapurna. (Missing for a few days 'inaction'.)
Following a self-determined route that resulted in a superb challenge (later blog), we turn to look at Shiva 'resting' in the distance. We were able to walk along the ridge at times, around the very few houses, over a few low walls and past temples and other similar type edifices (one situate on the hill toward right.)
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
Different types of 'color' in Pokhara.
A hotel down the road from our apartment.
Jen manages to capture (partly), a father taking out his children. He dropped the daughter off at ballet/friends/discotheque/? as a few minutes later he passed by again without her. Great reactive focus and click.
In typical Nepal fashion, we are returning from a peak and come across a couple of casual hotels and restaurants.
Jen attempts to capture the essence of a 'typical' restaurant in Nepal. However, in the interests of privacy, she hides part of the title. She also mentioned it was either the title or to narrow the incredibly broad-shouldered guy. One of us got lucky.
