Photo of the Day – Caretaker Monk – Bhutan
At the monasteries across Bhutan, there is usually a monk assigned on rotation to take care of the temple and let the visitors in. Here is one such monk at a temple in Punakha.
Photo – Monks in Thimphu, Bhutan
I was in the mountain kingdom of Bhutan, leading a group of photography enthusiasts for Darter Photography. Throughout the tour, it was a delight to see maroon robed monks everywhere – in the streets, shops, monasteries, temples and administrative centers. Here is an image of monks engaged in a conversation, photographed in Thimphu.
Big Pictures on India Travel Blog
This new year, there is a small change in the way images are displayed in India Travel Blog.
The template size on this blog restricted me from posting photos that are larger than 640 pixels wide. This created multiple problems. In these days of ‘big pictures’, 640 pixels are too small and did not do justice many images. Second, all the clutter around the images (thanks to my ancient, orange template), failed to highlight the images and did not offer an undisturbed view. A clutter-free environment is necessary to be able to appreciate a photograph. These problems are now solved, at least to some extent. The images are now uploaded at a much higher size. On clicking a photograph, you will not only see a larger sized image, it will get displayed with a neutral background. It is also now possible to navigate through all the images in a post, either as a slideshow or through ‘next’ and ‘previous’ links. I hope you like the changes. Your feedback on this would really help. Thank you.
