Hi Mark, glad you like the crop. I tried many different versions before settling on this one. The 'village' that you see is actually the Swayambhunath Stupa, one of the holiest Buddhists sites in the world. The construction is relatively new, with stress on the word 'relatively', but the main structure that houses the holy relic is reputed to be over two thousand years old! According to local lore, the Stupa was "always there". "Swayambhu", a Sanskrit word, means "The One who was created out of His own self". Take care of yourself and thanks, as always, for your comment.
Wonderful, moody image. I like the way you chose to crop the picture ... and, that you retained the hill top in the forground, so that the village is still visible. Nicely done. Best regards, Mark
