One of the giant Tibetan prayer wheels at Shechen Gompa in Boudhanath, near Kathmandu. The walls were adorned with an array of bodhisattvas and buddhas.
Sometime after lunch at the Three Sisters' Cafe, which is where I recorded "Above Boudhanath," we went back down to the plaza and walked along the second level of the stupa.

A few minutes of foot traffic next to the Great Stupa at Boudhanath (Svyambu Mahacaitya in the Sanskrit, I've been told). This is the largest buddhist stupa in the world, said to contain some of the remains of Shakyamuni Buddha and other relics, not to mention being a focus of practice and recitation for buddhists from around the globe.
The usual three-way discussion in traffic about where to have lunch, here occurring in the northern end of central Kathmandu.
