What do you think of when you hear the word "Bhutan"? Until I visited Bhutan, I didn't have much of an image of the country, just a vague idea of the "Land of Happiness. During my trip to Bhutan, I had a chance to think about what the appeal of this country is. Located on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, Bhutan is at a high altitude and the clouds are very close. Bhutan is also known as the "Land of Thunder Dragons.

The scenery we encountered everywhere we went had a mystique and grandeur that made us feel as if dragons lived there. The people have a strong faith in Tibetan Buddhism, and good deeds are natural and bring compassion to the hearts of the people. From the land of Bhutan, I felt a peaceful air that made me feel at peace. I think this air itself is the charm of this country. I would like to convey this atmosphere through my photographs.

As I Looked Around The Landscape, The First Thing That Struck Me Was How Close The Clouds Were. There Is A Theory That The Name Of The Country Originated From The Sanskrit Word "Bhutan," Meaning "Highland," And I Was Fascinated By The Cloud Formations That Only Highlands Can Produce.

I Love To Look At The Sky When I Travel. In Particular, The Clouds In Bhutan Leave A Deep Impression On Me. In One Of My Favorite Anime Movies, The Huge Clouds Are Called "Dragon's Nest," And I Can't Help But Wonder If There Are Dragons Lurking Behind The Clouds In Bhutan. I Can't Help But Think So.

In India, some temples( especially the Khajuraho Temple) have intricately carved sculptures of people copulating and depict various forms of coitus. People of yore believed sex to be a holy ritual.
