Boats of Pokhara

Boats of Pokhara. 2013.

Painted wooden boats drift in loose formation on the lake at Pokhara, their chipped colours mirrored in the still surface. Behind them, the hills fade into soft blue layers under a pale peach sky, so the whole scene feels hushed and suspended. This photograph leans into that sense of pause, treating the boats as a quiet gathering at the edge of a vast, hazy landscape rather than a typical postcard view
