Obscured by clouds

Landing in Bhutan has been spectacular today.   Always spectacular for different reasons. August is the peak of monsoon rains here in Bhutan. The monsoon weather, is an avalanche of rain,  from drastic changes in atmospheric circulation and water precipitation and heavy rains coming from the south in Bengal Bay. The Bengal Bay blows the wind up north crossing India and crashing against the Himalaya and here I am watching. 

I am standing today, underneath the crash,  under  the heavy rains, high humidity, flash floods and landslides, in one of those typical monsoon misty, overcast days. The views of the Himalayas in this seasons are completely obscured by clouds and rain.
