The Town Scryer is a mixed bag of humor, socio-political observations and ephemera from the perspective of a eclectic Pagan veteran of the counter-culture.

Gathering Honey From a Cliff Face

   Twice a year the Gurung tribesmen of Nepal lower themselves down the face of cliffs in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains using little more than rope ladders to collect honey.


     In 1987, photographer Eric Valli and his wife Diane Summers went into the jungles of Nepal to meet up with the Gurung tribesman and document their remarkable quest for honey.
