Curious and Hopeful

 

Photo by Patrick Jones. Kathmandu, Nepal. 25 Feb 2018.

The shot above captures a school group piling through a narrow doorway in the Patan Museum in Lalitpur, Nepal. I had to move off to the side to let them pass. Their laughter and curious faces caught my attention.

The museum is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site at Patan Durbar Square in a city neighboring Kathmandu. The square and surrounding area was heavily damaged in the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. I visited Nepal for a conference three years ago this week. The portions of the city still showed significant impacts from the earthquake.
