A carved stone temple spire in Kathmandu with gold-capped tiers and a trident on top, in golden light

Temple spire at golden hour, Kathmandu

Golden light warms the carved stone spire of a Kathmandu temple.

The tall curved spire of a stone temple in Kathmandu rises against a clear sky, its vertical ribs and carved corner figures lit by low golden light. Small gold-capped towers sit on the lower tiers, and a trident stands at the very top. A small bird is just visible in the sky.
