A boy posing for sunset


As I took a picture of the sunset, this boy just sat on that log of wood and stared right at my camera.

Visiting Jalpaiguri was a remarkable experience. An unforgettable journey to a magical land near the border of Bhutan. Close to the Teesta river, near a small town lies a jungle with exotic vegetation and peculiar farming methods. A network of bridges connecting treehouse platforms with hammocks above fishponds. Full of exotic birds, spiders, butterflies, snakes and huge lizards that remind of dragons, a natural habitat houses a magnificent diversity of plant and animal life.

This is beautiful! The story, the picture, composition and colors. I love the depth in his eyes.

P.S. Did I tell you that I've never been outside of Europe? :>)

@vincentnijman that place is seriously like out of a fairy tale. I also have some video footage of it somewhere l. My friend bought this piece of land there. He is half american and half indian. Also one of the most talented carpenters/builders i know. He constructed a paradise weaved into nature and left things as they are. He has woodpeckers, catfish, lizards and even visitors like wild animals that feel very indigenous in his habitat. Even bobcats come thru.

My offer stands vincent. You are welcome to join.
