[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A swinging bridge in the Annapurna region of Nepal near Kukhure Dobhan. Once we had crossed this bridge we proceeded through the ricefields on the track seen at the top right of this photo and set up camp for the night another kilometer or so further on. Another group can be seen setting up camp under the bridge. That night it rained heavily and this creek turned into a swollen river. We all had to make an early departure next morning and because the next bridge had been washed away everyone, including the heavily laden porters, required assistance walking through the fast flowing water to the other side. I can recall one porter falling in. I am including a photo of this changed river as a workshop.

Hi Marlene,
Lovely bridge photo well composed with vibrant greens all around and some nice horizontal lines from the crops in the opposite field.
Your notes and workshop are really interesting and thanks for taking the time to tell us the story.
Regards
Lee

Hello again!
Here are impressive shots (this and workshop). Firstly, this is interesting rope suspension bridga, and secondly, the workshop shows unpredictability and danger of mountain rivers.
Kind regards from Russia, Igor

Dear Marlene,
I like the picture and the country
I've been to Nepal and really appreciated the kindness of its people
You picture is facinating and captures the daily lives of Nepalese
well done.
Cheers, Moncef
