Swayambhunath - The Monkey Temple in Nepal

Little video I made with my Fuji XT4 during my first ever visit of The Swayambhunath Temple (aka The Monkey Temple) in Nepal. The moment I arrived there I started feeling so good. The people around, the sense of peace and joy that everybody seemed to share at the same time, the sounds of bells, monkeys, prayers, and then a little concert as well, I was feeling as if I was dissolving in what was surrounding me. It was also the first moment and first time I really started feeling really comfortable in doing photos and videos, so I suddenly started filming everything I had around, and no body seemed to be bothered, on the contrary it became a way to get even more in connection with everyone else. So this is the result of that day. I don't know why I chose to shoot in black & white, maybe because I wasn't so happy with the rendering of the colours, and I just started enjoying the contrast that the b&w was giving me. Hope you enjoy it!
