back from Kathmandu (2)

My first visit after the earthquakes of last March and April. There is a huge difference between seeing pictures of the devastations, and walking through them…. A very sad visit. Apart from all the lost lives, the loss of so many well-known places and monuments is shattering. My admiration for the Nepalese people is huge: live must go on!!

two pictures of Hanuman Dhoka in Kathmandu: the big Vishnu-temple is completely gone! The other picture is the southern fassade of the former Royal Palace…..
