Caption: Date: 1994-07
Location: Namche Bazaar, Solukhumbu
Description: In late July the monsoons have soaked the fields around Namche and the potato plants are a rich green. Note how the buildings have expanded both out and up since 1967 and now metal and plastic roofs have replaced the old wooden ones. Kanchha and Ang Lhakpa's house is in the middle of the photo with green windows. The Gompa in the upper right has been significantly improved and is used daily for prayers and by older men who want a place to socialize.
