Durbar square

Probably the only time when i find a 16mm lens to be desirable and the Durbar square simply screamed at me for wide angle frames. Stuck at 24mm, the only way to get a decent yet innovative shot was probably a reflection of the various temples in the square. Under exposing by a full stop preserved the provia blue sky perfectly, whilst capturing a major part of the temple in the mirror image. The square is central to the local people. Just sitting by a corner to watch the flow of time can be quite interesting. Well I did just that in Patan for 2 hours on a bench overloooking the entire square. A local folk ambered over for a short chat too.
Oh Jeff must be from Japan/Korea.
