Photo of the Day (12/15/06)
It is always wonderful to take a peak at our Gadling Photo Pool and discover the fantastic work of a new contributor such as Bluepeak, whom we honor for the second day in a row with our Photo of the Day award. The talented photographer has some simply amazing images at his Flickr site from Bhutan, Canada, and Mongolia.
Today's shot comes from the far off kingdom of Bhutan where something as simple as a tent becomes an object of fascination for a group of kids in the Himalayas. I just love the looks on their faces. And check out that mountain in the back!

I took the photo in the village of Toencha in the remote Lunana district on the Snowman trek. There are no stores in the entire valley, so popping over to the store to buy some sugar means at least a 2-3 day walk, over a 5,200m (17,000') pass! The mountain in the background is Table Mountain (7,100m/23,500'). See http://www.bluepeak.net/gallery/Bhutan/trekking/thanza-and-table-mountain.jpg.html for an image of the mountain, http://www.trekkinginbhutan.com/trekking/snowman.html for more information on the snowman trek, and http://www.bluepeak.net/bhutan/ for additional photos.
