Lucky shot - I was hiking up a hill in the Marin Headlands near sunset and just happened across this cyclist reflecting on his journey. Shot for the "Landscapes" section of my CS178 course.

Gorkha was the birthplace of Prithvi Narayan Sha, conqueror of the Kathmandu Valley and founder of modern Nepal. It´s a major pilgrimage destination, particularly for Newars, who regard the Shah kings as living incarnation of Vishnu. The main attraction here is the Gorkha Durba, the former palace of the Shahs, which lords over Gorkha from a precarious ridge above the town.
SIGHTS
GORKHA DURBAR
Regarded by many as the crowning glory of Newari architecture, Gorkha Durbar is a fort, a palace and a temple all in one. This magnificent architectural confection is perched high above Gorkha on a knife-edge ridge, with superb views over the Trisuli Valley and the soaring peaks of the Annapurna and Ganesh Himalaya.
As the birthplace of Prithvi Narayan Shah, the Durbar has huge significance for Nepalis. The great Shah was born here in around 1723, when Gorkha was a minor feudal kingdom, in thrall to the larger citystates in the Kathmandu Valley. Upon gaining the throne, Prithvi Narayan forced the Kathmandu Valley into submission, forging a kingdom that extended far into India and Tibet. In 1769 the capital was shifted from Gorkha to Kathmandu and Gorkha was relegated to the status of a national monument.
To reach the durbar, you must climb an exhausting stairway of 1500 stone steps, snaking up the hillside above the Gorkha bus stand.
KALIKA MANDIR
Build in the reign of King Ram Shah (1606-36), but extensively remodelled over the years, the temple is a psychedelic fantasy of carved peacocks, demons and serpents. The woodcarving around the doors and windows is particularly striking - note the ornate peacock windows and the erotic scenes on the root struts.
Glory sacrifices of goats, chickens, doves and buffaloes are carried out in the courtyard in front of the temple to honour the Goddess Kali, the destructive incarnation of Parvati, the consort of Shiva. Only Brahmin priests and the king can enter the temple, but non-Hindus are permitted to observe sacrifices from the terrace.
DHUNI PATI
The other major structure in the compound is Dhuni Pati, the former palace of Prithvi Narayan Shah. Like the temple, the palace is covered in elaborate woodcarvings, including a magnificent window in the shape of Garuda, the man-bird vehicle of Vishnu. Non-Hindus cannot enter but can view the room where Prithvi Narayan Shah was born through an ornate star-shaped window.
GURU GORKHANATH SHRINE
Behind the palace is the mausoleum of Guru Gorkhanath, a reclusive saint who acted as a spiritual guide for the young Prithvi Narayan. This part of the compound is closed to non-Hindus, but you can descend some stone steps to peak into the cave where the saint once lived.
HANUMAN STATUE
If you leave via the northern gate, you´ll come to a vividly painted carving of Hanuman, the monkey god, and a series of carved stone steles. A path leads east from here past a large stone resting platform (chautara) to an exposed rocky bluff with awesome views of the mountains and a set of carved stone footprints, attributed variously to Sita, Rama, Gorkhanath and Guru Padmasambhava.
The durbar is an important religios site, and visitors must follow strict rules. Shoes should be removed and photography and leather - including belts - are banned inside the Durbar complex.

هنوز ،آفتاب، درخشان بود که قصد رفتن کردید
هنوز ،راستی ، جايی در میان حاکمان داشت که خون شما به نا حق ریخت
یا با ترکش خصم از روبرو
یا با تیری از قفا
*
که ما را نه خصم از روبرو، که تیر خیانت زمین گیر مان کرد.
*
کجایید بچه های شلمچه، کجایید قهرمانان فاو ، که زمین گیریتان از تیر قفا بود
*
آفتاب ،رنگ باخت ،از نمودن چهره خصم در پشت سرمان.
*
کجایید بچه های خرمشهر که ببینید خواهران و همسران شما در تیر رس خصم قرار گرفته اند.
کجایید بچه های جبهه ، که ایران ،چشم ، تازه باز میکند به گرگان در لباس میش.
کجایید ببینید سنگفرش خیابان ها از خون معصوم ترین فرزندان ایران گلگون شده .
کجایید ببینید برای محو نام ایران از نقشه، شب از روز نمی شناسند آنان که از قفا تیرتان زدند
کجایید ببینید که به بهانه های واهی ، در پی واگذاری کل ایران به دشمن دیرین هستند.
همانان که تیر از قفا به چمران زدند همانان که صدها تن از فرزندان برگزیده ایران را به
خاک در انداختند
کجایید ببینید که همانان از خطرناک ترین دشمن ایرانیان دعوت میکنند برای تصاحب ایران.
همانان،همانان.
آری به ما تیر از قفا زدند.

The Commando Memorial located in moorland beside the A82, just northwest of Spean Bridge. The three soldiers look out over the Leanachan Forest to the peaks of Aonach Mòr and Ben Nevis as this is where they trained.
It commemorates the elite fighting force set up in 1940 known as the Commandos. The plinth of the memorial records the Commando's motto "United We Conquer" and a plaque reads "In Memory of the Officers and men of the Commandos who died in the Second World War 1939 - 1945. This Country was their Training Ground."
