Himalayan Farm House, Khaling, Bhutan, 1989

A stone farmhouse in a Bhutan valley sits in the shadow of the Himalaya. Wedged between China and India, Bhutan covers only 18,000 square miles (46,620 square kilometers), about the size of Switzerland. Like Switzerland, most of Bhutan is wrapped in mountains, but this sparsely settled country of about 700,000 people is scarcely touched by the modern age.

喜马拉雅山脉农家，卡林，不丹，1989

一幢石质农舍坐落在喜马拉雅山脉阴影中的不丹山谷里。夹在中国与印度之间的不丹，面积只有18000方哩（46620平方千米），大约和瑞士一样大。和瑞士一样，不丹大部分被群山围绕，但在这个还不够稳定的国家里，有大约700000人几乎没有接触过现代文明。
