Scenes from Happy Valley

On the outskirts of Mussoorie is a Tibetan settlement called Happy Valley.  On the day I happened to wander through, a high school soccer game was being played on a dirt field which made for some fantastic shots!

With every shot and good play the crowd 'oooh'd and 'aaah'd their approval/disapproval. Even the monks were watching-

At the hilltop above the temple and stupa, thousands of flags flapped in the wind carrying prayers to heaven.

And of course with the entire town at the soccer match, what better place for a young couple (I'm guessing) to meet?
