Bluetick Coonhound on Kathmandu Park Path

A Bluetick Coonhound stands alert on a quiet park path in Kathmandu, its distinctive black and white ticked coat rendered in high-contrast monochrome. The dog's muzzle is dark and expressive, with ears set low and folded naturally against the head. Soft open shade falls through the canopy above, casting dappled light across the worn dirt and scattered leaves of the path. The background remains clean and uncluttered, allowing the animal's muscular build and textured fur to dominate the frame. The early 1980s aesthetic of the image is evident in the grainy texture of the Kodak Tri-X 400 film, which adds a timeless, grounded quality to the scene. A subtle dust motes catch the light, enhancing the sense of a lived-in moment frozen in time. The path stretches gently into the distance, framed by the soft shadows of the surrounding trees.
