The ghats of Kathmandu at Pashupatinath
Pashupatinath is the site were the dead are cremated in Kathmandu.
After all, the Bagmati river flows into the holy Ganges!
Pashupatinath, dedicated to the “lord of animals” is the holiest Hindu temple in the Nepalese capital.
There are lots of shops selling colourful powders, incense, holy beads and other offerings.
Cremations take place on the small platforms.

Mobile Gallery

I was quite surprised by the image quality I saw in my Nokia smartphone. Not quite as good as a big photo on a big screen of course, but much better than I would have thought. So. I'm now trying out a special gallery for use with a cell phone on my site: http://www.travelphoto.net/m/ One word of caution: the pictures there are meant for devices with 320*240 pixle displays, I don't have a real way to check smaller sizes anyway. Of course, all this is quite experimental at the moment - please tell me how you like it and what (if any) bugs you ...
