Bhaktapur (Nepali: भक्तपुर जिल्ला Bhaktapur Jillā), also Bhadgaon or Khwopa (Nepal Bhasa: ख्वप Khvapa) is an ancient Newar town in the east corner of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. It is located in Bhaktapur District in the Bagmati Zone. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 61405 and had 9187 houses in it.[1] The male inhabitants of this city wear a special type of cap called the Bhaad-gaaule topi. This city is famous for its yoghurt or curd ju-ju Dhau.
From time immemorial it lay on the trade route between Tibet/China and India. This position on the main caravan route made the town rich and prosperous: each autumn the traders from Tibet came with sheep, fitting nicely with the main Hindu holidays, 'Mohni' (Parbatiya: Dasain; Hindi: Dussehra), when nearly everyone in Nepal sacrificed male animals to the goddess Durga. On the return trek the traders brought back to Tibet grains, sugar or Buddhist scriptures.
Bhaktapur is a popular day-trip destination for tourists visiting Kathmandu. Lately, with more air-pollution in Kathmandu, more and more tourists are staying in Bhaktapur for a few days, before arrangements for trekking are finished. |

Hi Figen,
Let's see if I am the first to write about this one.
The perspective couldn't be better, with the ascending street creating something that reminds a pyramid. Taming that bright sun together with the dark shadows could be a difficult problem, but you didn't let that happen. It's a vivid portrait of daily life, with much aesthetic value also.
I learnt at least 3 things with it and the informative note: the yoghurts, the caps and that they dry cereals (rice?) not only in mid Autumn, the time of year me and Achim were there, but also in June (the links point to TE posts).
Regards, José.
Hello Figen,
Nice perspective, with warm colors.
I like the graphics and depth you caught here.
Have a nice day,
JB.

Merhaba Figen Hanım,
Harika bir kompozisyon ve kadraj, ışığın etkisiyle gölgeli alanlar biraz detaydan yoksun çıkmış. WS ye ışığın dengelendiği bir versiyonu attım umarım beğenirsiniz.
Selamlar.
CEM
Fantastic depth...of field too Figen

A very typical street scene from wonderful Bhatapur, Figen, it conveys the feeling of the place very well. regards Kevin
