*When I visited Kathmandu,  Nepal in 2014, I noticed they had lots of interesting woodwork on their buildings, especially for the windows and doors. The work was refined and very detailed, often decorating not only the windows and doors, but beautiful window and door frames as well as with 'crowns' above them!*

*Some of these crowns tend to be very heavy, ornate and elaborately decorated affairs.*

*This one below I found near the entrance to Boudhanath - the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal and possibly the world!*

<center>*These sets of windows are positioned just above a souvenir shop, just like any other shophouse, in any other city... except for their design! The woodwork is amazingly intricate!
The other amazing thing - I found almost all windows there to be as decorated as this, in various styles of course!
One for the 'Windows' theme for this week in the #smartphonephotography contest by @juliank!*</center>

<center>*Many of their buildings there are also of a warm red brick like this...
Which of course totally complemented the rich woodwork!
This one's also for you, @erikah for your #BrickSaturday!* 😉</center>

<center>*Have a Happy Weekend, everyone!*</center><br>
