salut vincent,
amazing interior... i find it really great all those balconies, patterns created by the wooden details... quite a work to accomplish this building...
i'd only suggest maybe to strighten the walls with some pp tools so that the building does not lean over the monks :-))
anyhow, pretty interesting work,
best wishes, jerzy

Hi Vincent,

Hi Vincent

Fascinating architecture, with nice warm colours, & superb repetition of the windows. The monks in their red saffron robes add scale & context. Tfs!

Hi Vincent wonderful image, well built and with excellent colours and good quality.
i remember when a group of my friends visited Buthan in the 1989. they were some of the first tourist to have a Traveller Visa and payed a lot for every day spent there!
thanks, ciao

To see this in real life must have been a wonderful sight. The rich detail on the doors and windows is stunning. I like the wide angle view you chose to show three sides of the building and a snippet of daily life of some of the monks complete with dogs and chickens. Good WS too

Bonjour Vincent,
En voyant cette photo je me suis rappelée mon propre passage labas en novembre 1997.
A ce moment là rien n'était si fraichement peint et propre. Et pourtant je trouve toujours que les Dzongs, celui-ci ainsi que tous les autres, sont d'une beauté exceptionelle, toujours très impressionnant aussi.
Bellescouleurs !
La lumière tempérée rend très bien l'athmosphère serène de ces lieux.
Je me demande seulement s'il ne vaudrait pas mieu de couper un peu sur le coté droit pour rendre l'image carrément symmétrique.

Bonsoir Vincent,
j'ai vu cette photo dans plusieurs guides du Bhoutan: elle est toujours magnifique et tu as ajouté les moines pris dans leurs quotidianité qui rendent l'image encore plus vivante.
L'architecture est étonnante: avec ses couleurs ça nous fait entrer dans un endroit de rêve.

Bonsoir Vincent,
Une compo pleine de couleurs, qui capte l'oeil.
J'aime aussi la géométrie globale de la photo, très intéressant avec des perspectives marquées sur une petite profondeur.
Bien vu,
Bonne soirée,

Hi Vincent,
Once again a picture from one of the less visited places in Bhutan and a fine one as well. Beautiful view of the inner courtyard. Good symmetry all around.

Salut Vince,

L'architecture de cet batiment est vraiment jolie y il en a tellement des details et de couleurs! Les monges pres de la porte a profiter d'un moment de detente et les chiens en paresse montre la tranquillite de la vie dans le monastere.

Hello vincent,
mmmm, c'est beau cette architecture !
J'ai envie de m'envoler pour le Bouthan immédiatement !
Ton cadrage nous plonge dans ce monastère, j'aime voir des moines à l'entrée.

Hi Vincent,

The symmetry is here very useful and beautiful. The building is surprising by the forms and colors, and the frame you has composed is beautiful. Calm and peaceful shot, however plenty of life and colors! Thanks, and best wishes

Bonsoir Vincent,
Merveilleuse, très, très belle, très fort graphiquement et avec un environnement très sympathique et pacifique.
J'aime beaucoup aussi le WS, bien que préférait que le moine qui est debout n'était pas de côté. Félicitations et TFS.
Amicalement, José.

This is really superb Vincent, I like how you framed it so as not to allow any distractions such as the sky or whatever to creep in, allowing us to concentrate on this beautiful building.
I like how the colourful walls on either side frame the main facade and focus our attention on it.
Finally, without the presence of the monks, dogs and chickens (?), this wouldn't have been as good. It's good to see that this is a living place.
Excellent.

Cheers,
Ben

Quel pays fascinant ce doit être que le Buthan. Loin de tout et riche d'émotions.
Cette architecture est magnifique tout en étant très moderne.
Bien composée.

Bonsoir, Vincent,
bon cadrage qui capte la beauté et le coloris de ce temple, avec une scène très géométrique et pleine de la vie que les moines et les chiens la donnent.
Bien illuminée, et avec beaucoup de graphisme.

Un bâtiment qui, pour son âge, se porte bien. Une très belle architecture et un patrimoine religieux conservé avec amour. Les couleurs sont magnifiques. Une très belle image et merci pour la photo complémentaire et ta note intéressante.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une bonne soirée,

Olá Vincent, spectacular interior of this architecture. Your perspective and composition is very well suceeded and the closer detail in ws is really good. Such remote places attract me very much and you have lots of them to show us. Tfs,

Les détails de cette architecture sont très intéressants. C'est bien vu d'avoir "inclus" quelques moines pour mettre de la vie dans cet endroit presque baroque sous cet angle. La "symétrie" est pas mal non plus.

Salut Vincent,
Encore une belle image du pays des dzongs, ils ont de bons decorateurs aussi la bas car les decorations ressortent tres ben sur ce fond blanc c'est vraiment tres jolis, je pense qu'ils seraient bien inspires d'embaucher qq Bhutanais dans les inombrables emissions de decoration d'un gout plus que douteux qui envahissent nos ecrans par ici ;-)
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves
P.S. vu aussi le WS, tres chouette, je pense qu'il merite un post a part entiere car beaucoup de gens ne regardent pas les WS, ce qui est dommage !

Hi Vincent - what a pretty building, so colourful and ornate, the symmetric perspectivew also works well, and of course the human element offered by the monks adds more appeal.

Through a majestic frame, you have caught the totality of the architecture. Excellent POV

Hi Vincent.

The architecture combined with the daily life of the people! Good idea.
But best because we are in front a very enjoyable (even I would say traditional) kind of architecture and also a kind of life (monks' life) so interesting for us as distant.

Regards.
