Title: Swayambhunath Shadows Before Dawn
Location: Swayambhunath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal, Asia (27°42’53” N 85°17’25” E)
Description: Before the sun comes up, the shadows of Swayambhunath Stupa can be seen on low clouds over Kathmandu Valley.
As this was shot with a fisheye lens, those are actually shadows of the same single spire, but repeated in a 180 degree type of fashion.
