Hike at Daybreak

We walked to Bumdeling at six this morning to watch the world wake up:






The sun rose. On the way up the mountain snow was muted pink. On the way down it glistened white:



We looked down over Yangtse as it stirred from a sleepy town's slumber:



You will remember the covered bridge I cross each day on my way to school. The rounded building is the Karmeling hotel cum bakery where we buy bread:


The collection of red roofs is my school:





One the way home we came across a murder of ravens, the national bird. I thought of Mount Saint Vincent:


We were home by 7:45.

  4. Out for a walk and home by 7:45am. Wow!

    You must be learning from your proximity to those monks. Early rising is one of their tenets
