Monastic Langurs

Earth In Focus Photography CompetitionAnimals in Their Habitat

Gray langurs in Bhutan sharing sacred space at Dodeydra Monastery. I was working in Bhutan as a filmmaker for a retreat company. This was my second trip to Dodeydra Monastery. The langurs are habituated to human company due to living in close proximity to the monks, who often give them food scraps, thus they’ve become quite easy to shoot, and are very relaxed in human company.
