Here are some odds and ends not worthy of a separate post.
For a capital city, Kathmandu was remarkably lacking in statues–at least on the streets my driver used. These two were rarities.
There were numerous small shrines and temples.
Some seemed abandoned like this one

Which came first--the tree or the shrine? (Bhaktapur)
Other than signs, paint was a rarity on the streets, but I found a couple of exceptions in Patan and Bhaktapur.
Wall Painting in Patan
Doorway in Patan
Lion Statue in Bhaktapur
Flower shops like we have were a rarity, but vendors selling marigold petals were aplenty near the major religious shrines.
While I saw lots of people working or doing something interesting while trekking, I didn’t see many in the city, but here are a few.
