Thanks for your kind comments, Lori and Alisha.
I'm afraid I am unfamiliar with that project, Lori.
This shot was taken in the Kangchenjunga region in Eastern Nepal.

Dear Alisha, Carolina, Donna N., K.S., Lori, Robin, Nancy, Evy, Donna P., Susana, Manjesh and Kathleen,
Thanks a lot for looking and for your much appreciated words.
It is a while ago since I briefly met the woman and her baby, but I will never forget that moment.
It was magic.
Best regards,

Proud Mum with soon to be wise Monk kid, love the combination!! Plus the feeling that Mum is saying, ok, so you're going to a wise monk in your day, but you're still my cute kid now:)

Great!
