Featuring such strong entries I'm willing to embed images despite my fickle iPad keyboard-a-like!

The picture of that hilltop village looks like it was ripped straight from the cover of some fantasy book. Love it.

It just says "This picture was taken when I visited the Buddhist Monastery of Ki. Ki is a tiny village in the middle of the Himalayas, and next to it is Ki Gompa (Ki Monastery). I lived with the monks for about a week, and this picture reflects the peaceful, almost heavenly atmosphere that characterizes this place. The Monastery is almost 4,000 meters high, and I had to climb almost 500 meters more to get this panorama."
