Imagine living in a place like this for most of your life and just thinking it's normal to be surrounded by such a beautiful landscape?
The little white dots in the water are Kittiwakes, who are just starting to terrorise the locals by nesting on cliffs and chatting loudly aaaaaaaaaall through the night.
Pretty good day today. Won't see these lovely mountains again until the the year end. That makes me sad, but I must remember how lucky I am to have spent some quality time here
Have enjoyed escaping from reality for just a little bit, and connecting with a different kind of reality.

Still my fave local mossy, lichen filled nature 'tunnel' spot

Friend of mine restored this lovely old timber boat and that was one of the nicest days out on the water I can remember.
These shots captured on the Sigma 14mm F1.4, wide open.
Our final night in Norway for the winter. Sad to be moving on. Can never get enough of the polar nights and dancing lights.
One more special capture from the night of March 3. In the early part of the evening we stood outside our cabin and shot the aurora as the clouds faded away.
This scene is taken shooting straight up overhead, with a 14mm lens. Even then, it wasn't wide enough to capture the full scene. Just a glimpse really!

Wonderland exercise!
For us, it was snowshoeing with walking poles.
Also, Wonderland.

Amazes me how many butterflies are still darting about in Bhutan even at this time of year.
There's a few winter blossoms that help things along. We're just getting to the end of the leather wood and it's stunning blue petals.
I'm sitting in a cafe with a hour to kill so I'm doing a smidge of processing and trying to delete most of 6,500 shots taken in Phobjikha Valley.
Just found my Lawa La shots and I can't believe Bhutan can be so lovely.
The other day we arrived in Phobjikha and headed to the crane centre and a storm blew through but first it lit up the other side of the valley :)
These shots on the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 and gotta say it's a handy lens to have in the bag.
Afternoon light on Drukgyel Dzong.
Some places are easily overlooked by photographers who are searching for "the ultimate" landscape shot or whatever. I like these quiet moments with the Thunder Dragon.
A few scenes from behind the scenes at this week's festival in Bhumthang.
The Band. The Mask. The Monk. The Moment.
Dancing monks in Bhutan. Late in the day there was one final "masked dance", and in many ways the most significant. The Black Hat Cham.
They timed it to perfection, with the last monk disappearing back into the temple seconds before the light fell behind the mountains.
Can't keep up with my photos on this trip. Took another 3000 captures today. Mostly at a festival. Will share some of those tonight.
Still haven't processed all my little monks learning to make Thorma in Chendibji.
Goodnight from Bhutan.
Today we left Phobjikha Valley and are spending the night in Trongsa. On the way we stopped into Chendibji Chorten, where they now have a small gompa for very young novice monks.
It was a very good day today.
