Artist's Comments

First thing before anyone gets confused...those colourful flags are tibetan buddhist prayer flags... also called feng ma (风马 ) in chinese meaning flying horse...

The monk in front of me was taking me on a mountain path that circled the Ganden monastery, which he told me that on special days (or any day) many devout buddhists would walk this very path all through the night putting up these prayer flags on the mountain for good luck and karma, and that you must walk the path CLOCKWISE (he said it was imperative...)

Location: The Ganden Monastery Lhasa Tibet China
