Sunrise over Mustang. We got up early to hike a little higher up the hill and look down on the valley below. Up ahead is the route to Upper Mustang, once a place of great mystery but now easily accessible by road.

Might be that the best part of this journey was when Tashi got his own Macro lens and hence a chance to discover something very new and very wonderful. His patience with the butterflies is exemplary. There was a moment when he realised that you need more than flowers to chase butterflies, you need the sun as well. Butterflies are essentially solar powered, they most active once they've had a chance to toast under the sun a little.

The key to photography is never to rush it. Take the time to take your time. Slowly slowly. Khuley khuley.⁠

One of those moments that you cannot plan for, but have to be ready for. Lovely things always seem to happen in Bhaktapur :)⁠

Tashi is a very shy person, so this little moment was really special. He had been taking pictures of the wide scene with me for a while, but decided he needed to go up to these Newari ladies and ask to take their picture. Up close. Very proud of you Tashi!⁠

Still in Bhaktapur with this series. I visit here every year, and pretty much every year I take a photo of Kumari. This time the shoot escalated a little! This old temple had just been renovated and gave us a wonderful glow as morning sun streamed through the lattice work.⁠ I love a little serendipity.

Unexpected joys of the spring weather. Earlier in the day we faced storms, but they cleared in time for us to arrive in Pokhara and enjoy some stunning views of Machhapuchhre. ⁠

Kind of hard to believe that these places really exist. And you can just go for a walk and shoot a scene like that.

I always tell people to look for the light. But sometimes the light finds you first. One special person has brought more light into my life than a thousand sunrises.

Thank you @ironchefshellie

The last light on Machhapuchhre. Each time I thought this view was fading into dusk, just a hint more colour would come through. This image taken on the Lumix S1RII and Sigma 60-600mm lens. Amazing combination, and amazing detail in the RAW file.⁠

@ewen This is Machapuchare isn’t it? Beautiful light!

Ewen Bell 📷1d ago

Not sure how the name got overlooked with I wrote the caption! Yes Machhapuchhre. Was talking today with my team about why there are so many ways to spell the same names here in Nepal. It was a complex answer, which is fitting.

@ewen I take it that if I don't know what mountain it is then I should not be asking
. Odd. Now the name is in the post. Odd. Originally no name on my post view. Maybe a Tusky scrolling thing.

@ewen @ironchefshellie In a way, we are always in the light.

@ewen @ironchefshellie stunning.

@ewen The person who has brought light into my life for 30 years is now lying beside me, snoring like an old cart horse 😂😍

Ewen Bell 📷2d ago

Brings the light, and a few tunes :) Marvellous.

@ewen gorgeous!

Couldn't have made it better if I had planned it. Was just a random confluence of moments, and we had the camera handy.

@ewen Love this.
