About this picture
On our visit to one of the many monasteries in Bhutan, came across a group of young buddhist monks who are studying in an outdoor class. Most of the boys are studying intently and as we walk passed, one of them look out and that’s where this shot was framed. Life in Bhutan is simple and at that time Internet and mobile was not pervasive as yet, however the people all have this light and sparkle in their eyes much more so than some of their western counterparts who are much more technologically advance but walk around with a glazed eyes staring into their cellphones.
