A touch of heaven



This is an amazing photo I came across on the nat geo website.  It is just beautiful - the photographer spoke correctly when she said that it was a little touch of heaven:

Ki Gompa
This picture was taken when I visited the Buddhist Monastery of Ki. Ki is a tiny village in the middle of the Himalayas, and next to it is Ki Gompa (Ki Monastery). I lived with the monks for about a week, and this picture reflects the peaceful, almost heavenly atmosphere that characterizes this place. The Monastery is almost 4000 meters high, and I had to climb almost 500 meters more to get this panorama. This place is a touch of heaven.
