Thimphu, Bhutan.

3 pieces

Thimphu sits in a valley with painted timber buildings, a fortress monastery on the river, and a large gold buddha on the ridge above the town. Prayer flags on the passes, terraced fields on the slopes, and the Himalaya standing north. The colour is painted timber, gold and mountain green. There are no traffic lights, and a policeman directs cars from a painted box. Archery is the national sport and is played with real ceremony. The pieces here come as prints, ornaments and more.
