Rani Pohkari
Katmandu, Nepal
In the early morning mist in Katmandu I encountered this small palace pond with a small gazebo in its center.

This is a mosque shaped Hindu temple in the middle of a pond called Rani Pokhari in Kathmandu City, Nepal. It was built by a Malla King named Pratap malla in 16th century, in memeory of his queen (Rani). In the background is the clock tower called Ghanta Ghar which was built by a Rana Prime Minister in 1940s and is now a part of an undergraduate college, by the name, Tri-Chandra College of Tribhuvan Unversity, Nepal. I know this because I did my undergraduate in Biology at this college about 12 years ago.
