Ethiopia, Nepal, postaweek2013, Travel, weekly photo challenge

Saturday, February 9: The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Home.

In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture that evokes HOME for you.

It might be the place where you live, or a more abstract representation, or something completely different.

Here are some homes I discovered on a 15 km walk from Nagarkot to Changu Narayan in Nepal.
