Making Something Out of Nothing

Karjanha Village, where I've lived for the past 10.5 months is a pretty typical place for this part of the world, with lots of dust.  One can always find beauty especially in the colors of the women's saris but the shops are pretty sparse, not painted, not really much attention paid to aesthetics.   However the Nepali New Year has shown me how to take a dusty colorless place, at least a small piece, and turn it into something special.

I watched as these figures came to life out of a dusty piece of land.  A tent made it even more special and suddenly one was transported to another place. When I saw the final product I was thoroughly amazed.  Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and it can be found anywhere, even in the dust.
