Model Monk


This novice monk not only has a pretty face, he sure knows how to strike a pose (Tyra Banks would definitely approve!). I shot this at Punakha Dzong in Punakha, Western Bhutan.

Punakha is about 72 km away from the capital Thimphu. At 1200m above sea level, Punakha has a subtropical climate – warm in winter and hot in summer. The two main rivers of Bhutan, the Pho Chu and Mo Chu, run along Punakha Dzong, making it one of the most photogenic landmarks in the Himalayan Mountain Kingdom.
