I've started editing the images from Nepal. This is Pashupatinath, the Hindu funerary temple in Kathmandu. The dead are cremated at the riverside and their ashes placed in the Bhagmati River, which eventually flows into the Ganges.

This is me sporting my covid fat layer, terribly out of shape and almost 65. Life gets weird, you just have to ride it out so you can see where it leads. In my case, it leads back to daily walks, the spin cycle, the gym and a high protein, log carb calorie restricted diet... I don't wanna be Santa!
