16. Thimpu, Bhutan

In the words of Gavin Gough “One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned as a photographer has been to slow down. Engaging images often evolve from a mindful awareness rather than an adrenalin-fueled frenzy. Bhutan has many magical qualities to make a photographer drool: a culture steeped in tradition, a look of Shangri-la, vibrant colors, and an abundance of gorgeous light. But perhaps it’s a combination of the high-altitude and the deliberate pace of life which encourages photographers to pause, to look, to appreciate, and to think before pressing the shutter release. Whatever the cause, Bhutan really is deserving of that overused superlative: it’s magical.”
