Dawn light on Himalayan peaks from a snow slope on Mera Peak — First light across the Khumbu giants from the Mera Peak approach.

Two smiling honey hunters in white mesh veils holding a large yellow honeycomb with smoke behind them — The comb comes off the cliff. Smoke still hangs in the air.

A one-horned rhinoceros standing at the edge of a dirt track in tall grass — Armor and dust. A greater one-horned rhino on the park road.

A young girl in a pink top and red-bead necklace smiling in a crowded marketplace — The room is busy. She looks straight through it.
