Description
This was taken my last night in Tibet. This huge beautiful cloud built up. I could not find a nice mountain landscape to photograph it behind (I was in the middle of town), so I decided to capture some prayer flags backlit by the cloud. Throughout Lhasa, these flags are put up on branches and sticks like this.Related content

The cloud becomes the mountain itself. The silhouetted prayer flags, though, are what make the image stand out. It's the contrast between the great billowing cumulous and the quietly whispering flags.

Thanks Steve. It was a magical evening realizing I was leaving the next day and trying to take it all in...

Yes, it is particularly difficult when you realize that a place or person has made such an impact on you and you have such a short time before you have to say good bye forever.

I love how the back cloud is totally lit, as opposed to the foreground.

Very dramatic I love the way tree silhouettes against the cloud.

Nice framing. It's almost as though the tree of prayer flags is a hand either reaching up to catch the huge cloud, or is a hand casting off the white fluffiness into the sky.
Really nice job. Thank you for sharing.
