Autumn Mountain Pass Snowstorm Lhasa Prayer Flags

Thick white mist swallows the jagged granite ridges of a high mountain pass near Lhasa. Vibrant rectangular prayer flags in blue, white, red, green, and yellow hang taut against the falling snow, their colors piercing the gray gloom. Heavy snowflakes drift through the bright midday light, coating the dark rock faces in a fresh, soft layer. The landscape stretches into a void of swirling vapor, showing the sheer scale of the geologic grandeur. A cluster of colorful cloth strips stands rigid on the right, while the mountain slopes dissolve into the thick, wet atmosphere. at the edge shows a single red flag corner fraying where the wind pulls it tight against the freezing air.
