A collection of compact, postcard-format photographs taken in the mountains of Bhutan.
High in the mountains of Bhutan, monasteries rise, enveloped in silence. Majestic dzongs--at once fortresses, administrative centers, and monasteries--with white walls dominate the landscape. Prayer flags dance in the wind. Young monks in burgundy robes play freely. The elders murmur mantras, and the mountains stand in reverent silence. Bhutan is far more than a travel destination; it is a place to pause and reflect. Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek's photographs capture this unique atmosphere and offer a moving glimpse into the quiet power and timeless beauty of this unique country.
The postcard--once a cherished greeting from afar--seems to have almost disappeared from our daily lives today, making this extraordinary postcard book featuring Fahrner-Tutsek's photographs from Bhutan in a charming, compact format, all the more appealing. A poetic visual dialogue offers a glimpse into this unique and multifaceted country.
