Bhutan 2008 photo page
When I first return from a trip abroad,
it is often difficult to describe all that I have seen and heard and felt.
As I begin to review my pictures
they begin to provide the vocabulary to express the many things I experienced.

This page is dedicated to the remarkable people of Bhutan with sincere thanks for their
sometimes inadvertent, but more frequently, willing help in documenting our diverse
experiences in Bhutan.
