Cyclist climbing mountain pass Kathmandu dawn

by Gloria Manning

Cold silver dawn light washes the gravel road winding up a steep mountain pass near Kathmandu. A cyclist leans forward in disciplined concentration, legs driving the pedals against the incline. Colorful prayer flags flutter from wooden poles along the roadside, their saturated reds, blues, and yellows standing out against the pale winter sky. The ground is dry and dusty, scattered with small stones. Bare trees line the upper ridge, stripped of leaves by early winter. The road curves sharply in a diagonal line, showing upward tension. Shadows stretch long across the path, cast by the low morning sun. The rider wears a dark helmet and bright jersey, against the muted tones of the landscape. One prayer flag edge flutters against the clear blue horizon.
