Walking down Main Street, a photo from Bumthang, Central

Photographer's Note

Two monks walking down the main street of Jakar town in Bumthang district of central Bhutan. There is a wind-swept "Wild West" atmosphere about the low buildings with their characteristic architecture. But although there actually are a few bars in town, it's a very quiet and peaceful place.
Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

Hello Gert
Not so many people has the opportunity to go to Buthan and it is nice to see some of the architectural characteristic of this country which I imagine is a beautiful one! The calm atmosphere is well conveyed with these two monks walking in the street. Just for fun, I've done a small ws, hoping you don't mind.
Cheers

Hej Gert,
There is a very special architecture in Bhutan, and here you show another example of this. Really a fascinating house. The colour of the monks is very fine in this environment.
