   I love the contrast the bright orange robe of the young monk brings to this photo.

   The scale and dimensions along with the contrast is amazing ..

   With bright contrasts, the picture is amazing. Does it always look so ?

   I have heard so much about this place that I can not wait till next year. Next year planning to go there & your posts will come handy.

   I heard that excess tourism has led to this place being very unpleasant to visit these days

5. Erica on September 10th, 2008 10:55 pm

   I agree with Theresa. The contrast works great.
