…and to finish of the reprise of 2011 while I am away in Antarctica here are some images that Tumblrites liked learningtosee: BH11 04 One of the few remaining traditional shops in the Bhutan’s capital Thimphu which I will leave today. The capitals population has more than doubled in the last decade. It’s been interesting to move about Thimphu without the responsibilities of a tour for a few days, take time for my own images and think through options for future expeditions.

BH 24   I will end this Bhutan series for now with a week of images I find most personally interesting sometimes despite their technical imperfections. This last kitchen scene is our friend Namgay’s mum back home in the house she misses after a week visiting family in the capital and always finds a reason to return to. The simple kitchen where life happens in Bhutan and the wonderful family shrine rooms seem to me to say a lot about this countries value and integrity.

BH20  Taktshang from above on the way down from Bumdra  This week is from the top of our little trek at Bumdra itself. Bumdra means ‘the rock of a thousand footprints’.
