Kathmandu, Nepal is a dusty, smoky city filled with dusky orange-red architectural tones.
In contrast, the textiles and art have bold, fierce, commanding presence. Monkeys brazenly wander the streets and parks among their human counterparts, and worshipped cows are hung with flowers and offered food in public places. Out of the city in the hills, a monastery sunrise accompanied by low, musical chanting provides clarity and calm.
