[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A prayer wheel in the temple area of Jakar dzong, central Bhutan. Jakar dzong in Bumthang district is one of the largest of its kind in the country, and like the other dzongs it is a fortress-like building complex combining a monastery with the district administration. The state and the religion live closely intertwined lives in Bhutan, the world's only Buddhist kingdom. Jakar dzong was built in the 17th century.

Hej Gert,
Fine colours and an interesting note. The combination makes this a quite attractive photo, clearly according to the TE principles. Fine blue and red colours.
Hälsningar

Hi Gerd,
In apparence a ver ysimple traditional element framing, but this does carry a lots of exotism in script design and colors, and that's what I like here.
Have a nice day JY

Hej Gert,
Enkelt men mycket effektivt foto. Den där tidningen, eller vad det är, är dock lite störande.
Hälsningar

Hej Gert
I'm a bit curious about the alphabet, do Bhutan have their own or is this sanskrit. Nice colors in this one that blends fine.
