Old Prayer Wheels

Bhutan is an adventure! A country closed to the world until the mid-20th century
with one foot in the present and the other grounded in the past.

Nestled between two massive countries, India and China, Bhutan is attempting
to modernize yet remain true to its historic Buddhist roots. No traffic lights
exist in the country and no MacDonald’s are there to alter its diet but their
life will evolve and their country's leaders know well the problems that
progress poses for them in the future.
