love this photo
It's as simple as that - I love this photo. I love the movement and it's one of those photos where you are lucky to be in the right place at the right time and the birds fall in to the right patterns at the exact moment the monk walks ahead when you click the camera.

I enjoyed these too!
I tried to read most of them as I hiked up. I like the one you selected as your favourite too, but there were lots that made me stand and reflect. Didn't have snow to contend with though! It must have arrived just after I left.
