Every Sunday I upload a photo to my facebook album, Shot of the Week. It is the one capture that speaks to me most out of the sometimes hundreds I snap each week! Sometimes the choice is obvious. A couple of times I have deliberated for hours or even stepped out the door with my camera to hunt one down at the last minute!
But each week I get great comments from my facebook friends. Some people share them on their own pages and occasionally I meet someone here in Nepal who says "Oh I love your Shot of the Week!" That just tickles me pink! I think I'll start posting them in Journey With Me too, for those of you who haven't taken the facebook plunge.

Today's Shot of the Week:

Pilgrims from Tibet discuss Gospel tracts in their own language. At Boudhanath Stupa to perform Kora, they had just met an ethnic Tibetan Christian who gave them the literature and told them about the Most High God. It might be the first time they heard His name. I roamed nearby with a camera and tried to be invisible as I prayed for these beautiful ladies and for their new friend who risked so much to share. 12/5/2011 — at Boudhanath, Kathmandu, Nepal. |

In the right place at the right time. I was hanging out the window shooting still life across the street and Leah says "Oh, oh! Look down!" 10/10/2011 — at Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
Divine Encounter. Thinking we were just looking for a new adventure, we followed our "whim" up a mysterious stairway and found this old man sitting alone at an otherwise deserted shrine. After I took this shot, Leah struck up a conversation and eventually offered a Nepali Bible. He met us at the same place the next day to receive it and began reading instantly. 10/13/2011 — at Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
Jeff, Bishnu and I stopped to catch our breaths and admire God's handiwork while on a quick outreach hike above Thankot. 10/21/2011 — at Thankot, Nepal. |
 |
Two men of God share a Bible during a Church service. 10/29/2011 — in Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
A gaggle of brightly colored boats wait lazily for renters on Lake Phewa. I wasn't shooting lazily though. Leah and I dashed down to Lakeside, snapped about four shots and then rushed back up the hill to catch a taxi for our next scheduled event. Later I realized the moment produced my shot of the week. Now I want to go back! 11/2/2011 — at Pokhara, Nepal. |
 |
Shared a few words and smiles with this little angel and her mother while walking home one day. One of the things I love about Nepal is the interaction with people around me. You relinquish some of your own privacy here and find yourself invited into the lives of strangers. 11/7/2011 — at Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
A quick walk to to the ATM at sunset took us past the balloon man's cart. 11/20/2011 — at Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
A woman tosses water on the street in front of her house to cut down on dust. Monsoon is over. 11/27/2011 — at Boudha, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
 |
A street child sleeps the afternoon away, oblivious to the bustle of Thamel, a bazaar district. Most likely addicted to glue, statistics say he won't live much longer. 12/4/2011 — atThamel, Kathmandu, Nepal. |
Stay tuned for more!
