A part of the dome and the spire of Boudhanath, the Boudha Stupa of #Kathmandu. A late afternoon view photographed on a clear autumn day in the warm light of the setting sun. The tower is gold-plated and the eyes, representing Buddha's wisdom, are often referred to as the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha. Boudhanath is one of the #WorldHeritageSites of Kathmandu and one of the main tourist attractions in #Nepal's capital.
