Aloka Lekhana
The word “photography” is based on the Greek φῶς (photos) “light” and γραφή (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light”.
~
I found this such a wonderful expression, drawing with light, that I translated it into Pali, Aloka Lekhana.
~
Not only does Aloka mean light, but it also means to shed light, illuminate, and yet another meaning is to see.
~
May these drawings of light illuminate your sight!

Wow! You took this? You must have been really high up in the mountains.
Actually, the town is just in front of these mountains, you can see them from a few different spots. I took this at the bus stop, on my way to Kathmandu…
Stunning! (not just this photo also!)
