Back once more, to the field of gold. Shimmer and sheen, a glint of light in darkest shadow, such are the cascading views of Monlam.

Monlam 2024 - The Gold Part 2

Days begin bright colored, flashing impressions and smiles abound. Sunset brings fiery candle hues bathed in myriad coolness. Crowds, a single flicker of life, and all that lies between. Such are the swirling views of Monlam.

Non stop, breathless, serene. Rampant energy and restful bliss, surrounded by those I love or those whose path I’ve yet to cross. The vibrant sounds play my hearts strings like a cello in the rain. Such are the distinct views of Monlam.

All that makes it so, miscellany glowing conditions brought together in one magical place.

Welcome to the Gold.
