Friends laughing beneath a tree
Futung, Kathmandu, 2002

I found this group of friends sitting beneath a tree on the top of a Suess-esqe little hill (see panorama below). I asked if I could take their photo and they said yes, but the first photo I snapped, they all looked deadly serious. When I mimed my best impression of their serious faces, they burst into laughter and I took this second shot.

The tree where I took the photo is on the top of the little hill that, in the photo, is above and a little to the right of the little house-like building on the left. (click to see larger)

And here is a small version of that first photo that I described above.
