Hello Hisashi,
Thank you for a wonderful series, I had not known about this magical place until I saw your postings.
Lovely shot to finish with, it tells the story perfectly.
Regards

Hi Hisashi,
The PoV is fantastic, the yellow umbrella and that object on the right, that seems to challenge the gompa perched on the hill of the BG, gives it an original look. The clarity and colours are stunning.
The WS would give a great over cover of a coffee table book featuring these amazing photos of yours from Ladakh.
Regards, José.

Hi, Hisashi.
Amazing perspective for a most inventive and original wide angle composition. Wonderfully colorful and chaotic, TFS!
Have a good day, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.
