Prayer Flags Above above Mountain Peaks


There is a timelessness here where minutes become centuries and distances become unmeasurable; and so it is with the prayer flags that stretch across the land, under the shadows of the tall peaks. It is said that the prayer flags are wind horses, and that each time a flag flaps in the breeze, the horse on the cotton print gallops off into the wind with prayers, rounding the world, benefiting all sentient beings.
Under the prayer flags, you should see Ama Dablam to the far right, trying to rise above the clouds, Lhotse and Lhotse Shar in the center and Everest slowly rising up to the left of Lhotse. To the left of Everest you can see Nuptse peaking out of the clouds.
