Pilgrimage

In the summer of 2016, we learned in Dharamshala that a group of Thai Buddhist monks was undergoing an on-foot pilgrimage from Dharamshala, Himachal to Leh, Ladakh. By coincidence, two weeks later, we spotted the monks along the highroads of Leh-Manali, which laid itself along the shoulders and creeks of the Himalayas. Seeing their pilgrimage reminds us of the power of beliefs, faiths, courage, and respect for nature. Together in cities and towns, we could easily fool ourselves that we have all the capabilities to overcome nature. Still, under the immense landscape of the Himalayas, we could only begin to realize that we are just minuscule pixels in the world.

Evening Stroll

While this image looks very slow and peaceful, in reality, I took the photo while I was on a small motorboat going up the stream in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. I was lucky enough to have my camera in hand when the bird happened to be strolling there on the river bank for a very brief few seconds preying for its dinner.
