Mani Wall

Buddhists place mani stones inscribed with mantras (Om mani padme hum) into walls which are meant to be circumambulated in a clockwise direction.
In Bhutan mani walls are usually short, this one in Bumthang's Choekor valley is an exception.

HWW!

This is so fascinating Gudrun and two lovely shots here. What a beautiful backdrop to this interesting wall and I love the close up. I can imagine them walking around intoning these mantras one after another. I love a photo with a story and this really delivers that as well as being beautiful.
