Photographer’s Note

Le temple de Swayambunath est perché sur une colline à 2 km de Katmandou.On peut y accéder par un escalier monumental, ou en contournant la colline par un chemin et des escaliers bordés de moulins à prières et de petits stupas blancs (ici sur la photo). Le temple de Swayambunath abrite le plus ancien stupa de la vallée, et il est aussi considéré comme l’un des premiers sanctuaires bouddhiques du monde(il aurait été fondé il y a 25 siècles).

The temple of Swayambunath is perched on a hill , 2 km from Katmandou.We can reach it by a monumental staircase, or by circumventing the hill by a way and staircases bordered with prayer-mills and small white stupas (here on the photo). The temple of Swayambunath shelters the oldest stupa of the valley, and it is also regarded as one of the first Buddhist sanctuaries of the world(it would have been founded 25 centuries ago).
For the photo,I am not sure to have used my 70-200 lens,I can't remenmber!The focal lenght was 70mm,but both of my lens can do it.
