Susila, Sabatri, and Sujana
Manamaiju, Kathmandu, 2002

I love walking through Manamaiju. The regal old buildings, here a busy courtyard off the main thoroughfare, there a small colorful door contained in a nook.

Before walking through, there's one last right-turn you can take that leads you past a few houses and a small shop. Further on and you reach the fields that lay atop the bluffs that separate the area from the valley close below.

It is among this widely-spaced bluff-top clutch of houses that I took a good many photos, one of which is this one of three friends.
