Shot with the 14GM and Sony A1. This shot (4x5 crop) was taken less than 5 minutes from my shot posted yesterday. I was so intent on framing the @mohonkmountainhouse in the composition that I almost missed the main show just to my left side coming across the middle of Lake Mohonk. I quickly stepped 10 feet back and less than 20 yards to my right to frame up this two-seat wooden hut with the brightly lit clouds coming right at me. The prime colors were just beginning to fade shortly after composing and capturing this shot. Glad I looked up and around when I did.
Matho Monastery in Ladakh ran into some money recently and built this pretty faithful new block. They are adding a huge courtyard for visitors to see the Oracle and Cham dance ceremonies - a trip back to the 15th century, enjoyed by all. Both China and India are de-Tibetanising their parts of the Tibetan Cultural World in favour of their own artistic sensibilities - both of which are tacky, gaudy and plasticky - they are doing this for domestic tourism. Should appoint me as Integrity Overseer, but everyone's an expert.
