A lot of good pictures that we can seldom see in the travel brochures.
These must be the true scenes of Nepal, the real scenes in the way they are.
The street scenes remind me of those days in Korea when I was in the primary school.
A man was sitting there on stone steps, reading a newspaper, just like one of the Nepalese people.
For a moment, I thought it was you. I guess it wasn't.
Thank you for the nice travel pictures and journals.

Your camera must have been taking slightly over-exposed pictures.
Here's one example of corrected version.


Picture modified with simple processing (edited exposure and contrast)

Probably Dr. Prakash, Ph.D -a.k.a Dr.Seo - knew Great Korean Zen Master,
Seong-cheol(1912-1993) when he said about Mountains in Nepal -
                       "San-eun San-i-yo, Mul-eun mul-i-da".

PS; Seong-cheol said, as we know, as follow;   

---Perfect enlightenment pervades all, serenity and destruction are not two    
   All that is visible is Avalokiteshvara, all that is audible is the mystic sound
   No other truth than seeing and hearing
   Do you understand?

                       Mountain is mountain, water is water.

           (I visited Seong-cheol's birthplace on the way to Jirisan
                         during my recent trip to Korea)

20여년전에 미국의사 구릅으로 중국여행 2주한적이 있었는데 그때만해도
베이징 공항이 바로 지었고 상해에서 베이징까지탄 비행기가 소련제
수송기를 개조한 여객기여서 소련 여승무원들이 기내에 날아다니던 파리들을
잡던 시절입니다.

그때 중국 가이드가 영어를 유창이하는 북경대학 출신 엘리트 였는데 이유를
물으니 가이드라는 직업이 그당시 중국에서 제일 돈을 많이 받는 직업이라고 하더군요.

물론 여기 서박사께서는 그런 이유는 아니겠지만 그분은 한국통인것
만큼은 사실인듯합니다.

여행기 즐겼습니다.  감사합니다.   규정

작은 똑딱이 사진기라 사진 품질이 좋지 않습니다.
그러나 구경하다가 순간적인 theme을 snap하는데는 유리 합니다.
사진은 프로 백길영선배님것을 보시고 story만 읽어 주십시요.
제 사진은 story를 위한 보충자료이니까요.

Doc, your pictures are as much important as your stories.
Your pictures are, now, the first class material in any standards, in case you didn't know.
We judge a picture by it's quality and the story behind it, not by the camera it came from. 
Thanks for your editing.
