I asked this girl could I take her photo. I thought she said no, so went on just photographing the river. Next minute she runs over carrying this red spike and posed for me. Like most Nepalese the pose is always very serious. She was a sweet girl and I have very fond memories of that photo shoot.
Marijuana grows everywhere in western Nepal. In fact there was a big crop right next to the school these kids went to.
They maybe poor in this region but the people always have a smile on there face especially the children.
I was trying to take a photo of flowers in the foreground and mountains in the background. It just happened to be on the border of a school. All of a sudden all these faces poked through the marigolds.
Here is a holy man referred to as a Sardu. He would come around to the place we were staying asking for money so he could go on his pilgrimage. I said I’d give him some money if I could photograph him.
A bunch of young kids from Dharan playing cricket in the street.
A school in eastern Nepal we popped into. They sang the Nepalese national anthem to us very very loud. My ears are still ringing. We sang them the Australian anthem in return.
A Nepalese princess. Actually it is my 4 y/o daughter who loves to dress up in all the Nepalese clothes and jewelry.
