Comments and criticques welcome.
The bird shots are not that good. Reason is the 75-300 Canon lens, which is slow, and slow in focusing too. Moreover its sharp only at F10.
I used this lens after many months. Hopefully sometime this year I will have a good telephoto lens(75-300 IS?). L is out of budget.
I also have to learn how to get my hands steady and how to focus on birds in flight!

What beautiful scenery! I love those mountains.

The night shot of the valley seems both strange and familiar at the same time. At first I thought it looked like the shots I'd seen people post of the LA area, but of course with many many more lights.

I'm amused to see the monks selling Coca-Cola products!

The monks were just customers there selling tea.
I found it really hilarious(the pose and all), especially coupled with "End of the world cafe" signboard.
This was at the end of a 1 mile trekking trail.
