Alpenglow In Haa Valley

Description: It was the second to last night of our Bhutan photo tour in 2013 when the snows started in the Haa Valley of Bhutan. A bit beautiful at first as the clouds broken just after sunset, but also a little concerning because the next day we were scheduled to climb over a mountain pass to reach the airport.

If the pass was snowed over and impassible to our van, it would mean at least a six hour, windy-mountain road trek around the hills.

But before that, a few of us climbed on top of a building under construction to gain a view down the valley in the last light of day.
