    1. I was just very lucky to be at the right place at the right time. Bhutan's nature is so well preserved, and its biodiversity so rich, plus the fact that its wildlife is mostly unafraid of humans, it's hard not to get at least semi-decent photos every day. Posted 9 years ago
      1. You sure opened my mind to it as a possible destination one day, I simply had no idea. Posted 9 years ago
