[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A few people having a chat, or just resting their legs, outside a shop in Trongsa town in central Bhutan. Although Bhutan is a normal, modern country in many ways, certainly no stranger to new technology, the compulsory traditional clothes and traditional architecture sometimes make the country look like a giant outdoor museum.
This is a scanned Kodachrome slide.

Hi Gert,

Hej Gert,
Intressant bild. Är det en man eller kvinna som sitter i mitten och vad har han på fötterna han som sitter som nummer fyra?
Hälsningar

Hej Gert,
Interesting architecture with a lot of fine details. Is it an old building? Good scan.

OK, you got me, compulsory traditional clothing? For who? Everybody?

The shot is very good but fot the wall that I think is too hot. The people there could be the characters from a novel or a movie, they are really a mix, and the woman looks stunning. Good capture.

If it is a scanned slide, the photo does not show it here and it is all the more valuable ! I like to watch the various persons sitting on the bench, they seem so peaceful and there is an air of normality in this view - like it a lot !
Best regards (and thanks for your visit),
Cath.

hi GH,
chatting or gossiping, it doesn't matter..you well captured the right moment of these guys "chilling out". the rattan baskets to the right added the charm.

Hej Gert
Nicely captured scene. I like it not only because it shows us how the people there look like and live, but also for showing how similar the people all around the world are. I can imagine shooting similar scene in Europe.
Apart from their clothes and architecture, that is ;-)
This time you could easily cheat me, the quality of this picture is really good for the scan.
Regards
Joanna

Hello Gert
A slide scan from this century and thus the quality is very good. I like the detail of the people and their traditional clothing, the elaborate window frame and the baskets. Well done, Marlene
