past and present merge...
Nepal Katmandu
Tradition is to be respected. But sometimes, bare necessities of everyday life call for converting an old temple to an open market trade center...

i agree with adele and leonid: a strikingly timeless atmosphere! all those somewhat archetypal faces and ancient trades… and it's the strangest thing: the somewhat "culminating" architecture of the old temple with its leg-like pillars, its many stories, its many bays and vaults suits what's going on on the square in front of it well! yes, no clash but a merging! and up to the smallest detail: even the conical shape of the hats and baskets match the conical shape of the building! greetings, sabine. p.s.: love the detail of the grim-faced little girl (or boy?) seeking eye-contact with the camera!Zenonas 29/01/2014 11:13

It is a stunning old building, and using it as a market venue does seem rather sad.....but at least it is still used, and hopefully cared for.An excellent shot, filled with great detail and life.

Ein Bild wie aus der Zeit genommenvon starkem Ausdruck der sich darauf befindenden Menschen
und Schönheit des Tempels so wie der Umgebung des Himmels mit seiner Wolkenbildung lieber Alexander
Du siehst mit dem Herzen gut und setzt es in starke klare Bilder um
Herzliche Grüße
Von Sina
