The masked dancers of Bhutan,dance in a meditative state whilst they are chanting.Their's is a rich old tradition,one they are very proud of and follow year after year.Bhutanese believe that everyone must attend a religious festival and witness the mask dances at least once to receive blessings.This image was shot towards the end of the festival, the light was fading and the dancers almost at the peak of fatigue and exhaustion,but their stamina did not fade.To be able to do such high jumps..wow!
