A group of children stands waiting under the 177-foot tall Great Buddha Dordenma statue in Bhutan, a tiny country in the Himalayas between Tibet and India. They’re not there to worship; they’re not there waiting for their parents. Three of the kids in this picture actually face away from the bronze-and-gold statue that houses about 125,000 other statues.
Those three have gloves on their hand. They’re watching as another kid throws a ball, and the person in the foreground swings a bat. They’re playing baseball on a concrete slab outside the monument.
