Bhutan

 
 
Thimpu Dzong with foreground drying chillies.
Tashichhoedzong བཀྲ་ཤིས་ཆོས་རྫོང is a Buddhist monastery and fortress on the northern edge of the city of Thimpu in Bhutan, on the western bank of the Wang Chu. It has traditionally been the seat of the Druk Desi (or "Dharma Raja"), the head of Bhutan's civil government, an office which has been combined with the kingship since the creation of the monarchy in 1907, and summer capital of the country.
 
Thank you Anna for this beautiful postcard from the
Land of Dragons!

Belgrade bridges

Founded at the confluence of the rivers Sava and Danube, Belgrade has five bridges that link it with the left bank of the River Sava, and one bridge across the River Danube.
 I know what you're doing Milan, you're trying to make me regret not coming to Belgrade last year >.<
Thank you for the beautiful bridges!
