BHUT10D-216
January 23, 2010
Today is the first image from probably my most recent (and one of the most remote), images from the Kingdom of Bhutan. I had an unparalleled privilege to work for a week in the country, followed up by 3 days roaming around the central portions. While it wasn't enough time to take one of the legendary treks into the backcountry, we still got a chacne to experience the raw, untrammeled beauty of the country. This image was found at the Royal Botanical Garden in Bhutan, which has a very diverse climate, mostly residing in the mid-altitude cloud forest, a perpetually moist atmosphere which is ideal for large trees and huge sheets of lichen. Everywhere you turned in this park, the vegetation was covered in green frill, giving it an otherworldly (or even Middle Earth-y) appearance to the forest.
