To mcmtanyel: buildings
Thank you Murat,
My ambition is never really to make documents of pretty buildings but to try to compose interesting photos with some atmosphere and life.
Best regards,

To fotka: sharpness
Thank you Zbigniew,
Many photos look unsharp on the TE site. This was one of them, so I had added to the note that it would look much better in a new tab. I hope you saw the larger version, which...

Before the pandemic the number of foreign tourists had risen sharply since 2000, so most Bhutanese should by now be quite used to seeing foreigners. I didn't notice any suspicions and I never had...

To PaulVDV: very normal
Thank you Paul,
I was surprised to find Bhutan such a relatively "normal" country. There is no doubt a lot of poverty, especially in faraway places, but most people looked reasonably well off,...

To CMJC: scanner
Thank you Christine,
Yes, I have changed scanner since I made the first version, but I am sure the difference is mainly due to more experience and skill.

Thank you Luciano,
I am glad you appreciated it, but what changes would you have liked to see that would make the colours more "real"?

Thank you Loong,
No problems. There are so many misspelled words and grammatical errors on TE that I am used to reading what I think people are meaning. So I got it right immediately. ;-)

Thank you Roland,
I like your crop, but I still like my own wider version too. I think they both would do well, but it's a good reminder of the importance of always having a different crop in mind...

Thank you Brenda,
Usually the executioner was someone who had been sentenced to death but was pardoned if he took the not very attractive job. It was an offer he couldn't refuse. "Master Mikael" was...

To ChrisJ: bag?
Thank you Chris,
So what do you call a plastic bag used for carrying home your groceries, or whatever you bought? (In this case three bottles of red wine.)

To PaulVDV: purchase
Thank you Paul,
I usually buy the things I need first and collect the photos afterwards.
Otherwise I would probably forget what I was supposed to do.
Best wishes,

Usually the hangman was a convicted murderer who was pardoned if he took the job, but this Mikael actually applied for the job of his own free will.

These houses are owned by the city and managed by a municipal agency for culturally listed buildings. So they can't be bought. I have no idea of the monthly rent for an apartment,...
