I was a cloud, a photo from Gansu, Nord

Photographer's Note

Inside the large Tibetan monastery of Langmusi

---

Langmusi is a remote town on the border between Gansu and Sichuan with two big Tibetan monasteries and great trekking opportunities. As it gets more accessible, it is becoming a bit of a tourist attraction.

This picture was shot on the grounds of the Kerti Gompa. A monk walks past one of the buildings of the monastery.

Hi Benny
You have a great way with titles for your photos, they are always intriguing . Good shot of the line monk and the lone cloud sharing this rather lonely looking place. The soft light suits this scene really well too.
Cheers
Noel

Both the monk and the cloud are perfectly placed and your low shooting position makes the composition complete.

Bonjour Benny,

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Le point de vue très bas donne de l'ampleur à l'ensemble. Le moine est parfaitement placé dans le cadre et le jaune de la maison contraste bien avec le bleu du ciel.

Bon samedi

Serge

Hello Benny
Great capture of this lonely monk in this remote monastery. The simple architecture is quite charming and the lost setting of the place is quite palatable here.
have a great weekend
Daniel

Dear Benny,

I like the title of your photo - it is very thought provoking, yet suited to the theme with the solo monk and monastery here. Superbly composed !

TFS,
May

Hello Benny,

Beautiful Tibetan monastery. These typical windows, red brown colours of decorations and the monk's robe, how I miss such a view. Great capture.

Have a nice Sunday

Hi Benny,
So nice to see your images. I feel perhaps you have an attachment with China - as each time you visit you find news ways to show us the country, and to reveal something about it.
I hope this finds you well, and happy holidays to you, all the way from Brisbane,
Justin
