Prayer Flags


Leh, India - 21 Aug 2019      See on Google Maps

We were early to the monastery at Alchi in Ladakh, India. It was at noon so we decided to have a bite. We had a very nice lunch on a second floor patio. The view of the mountains was incredible but what caught my eye was a string of prayer flags on the building across the street. The flags had been up for a while - they leave them up until they completely designate. Using my long telephoto I zoomed all the way in to get close and then bumped the ISO to allow a quick shutter speed - there was some wind. With the telephoto even f10 blurs the mountain int he background.
