Nepal
Photos taken in Nepal during my trip visiting this remarkable place in 2015 just days before the devastating earthquake, which destroyed houses, infrastructure and large parts of the truly remarkable temples, shrines and world heritage sites and led to the loss of life of thousands in this most beautiful country.
Himalaya Sunrise
Waking up ealy only to find that finally the clouds have cleared and to have an awesome view on the sun slowly climbing up behind the 8000m high mountains is truly majestic. This photo is actually a panorama created from more than 6 photos taken in portrait orientation and then stitched together in Photoshop. Might be a nice background for the living room walls...

On Top of the World
Ok, I did not climb it (yet). But I was eye to eye with its peak from the window of my scenic flight: Mount Everest! The peak to the right is Mount Lhotse, which is 8516 m high, second to Mount Everest only with its 8848m.

Reading Monk
Sitting in the shadow of the Boudhanath Stupa during the lunchtime heat this monk was reading totally focussed and I just loved how his clothing together with the red book looked while the harsh midday light casts its light and shadows around him.

Boudhanath Stupa
Right behind my hotel in Kathmandu was the Boudhanath Stupa. A buddhist place of worship it is visited by locals and tourists alike. Walking around it clockwise you can go with the flow and enjoy this remarkable structure, which is surrounded by coffee shops and small shops selling singing bowls, praying drums and other more or less usefull goods to those who are interested. I preferred watching the sunset from one of the numerous rooftop bars and restaurants and that is where I took this beautiful photo with the sun setting behind the stupa.

Under my Umbrella
Enjoying a cold drink on one of the beautiful rooftop bars surrounding the Boudhanath Stupa I saw this monk in his red clothing and his colourful umbrella walking around the stupa in the inner circle. With a little bit of patience, luck and - admittably - the help of Photoshop, I was able to capture him with a lot of negative space surrounding him to create a really strong image.
