Prayer Flag
187_8734-300.jpg

Creative Notes

In the middle of Leh there is a little hill with a gompa at the top. There are also a handful of small radio towers and this prayer flag 'broadcasting' blessings over the valley below.

Technical Notes

I enjoy seeing these prayer flags backlit. I placed the Himalayas at the bottom of the frame to give as much power and height to the flag as possible.
