House Building in Bhutan
Here is a house under construction. A team of young women are pounding the rammed-earth
foundation, section by section. They sing a song or mantra for a few seconds and then
they simultaneously pound down the earth near their feet with the large tool in their
hands. It's somewhat mesmerizing watching them work.
I like the depth of field in this shot, one can see the houses across the valley in some detail. |

Ok, there you are doing you're daily house pounding work, and a busload of white tourists coming filing out of the bus, furiously snapping pictures of your curious (to them) activity. Makes you stop and watch the funny tourists. |
