A Foggy Morning to Start the New Year

On our first morning back after returning from Lumbini, as I opened the door to go to breakfast I was surprised to see the mist swirling past my door: it was so thick that I could hardly see the monastery walls a few metres in front of me!

When I came back from breakfast I looked out from my balcony and thought I was dreaming: it was as if I was standing on the clouds. Below me there was nothing but white: not a glimpse of the city! However, I could still hear the incessant horns of the cars stuck in the early morning traffic jams.

It inspired me to take a photo panorama. I've put the photos up on my photo website, together with photos taken of the same view at different times: on a clear day, and at sunset. Enjoy the comparisons.
