Cyclist Descends Lhasa Ridge Amid Clouds

Vibrant prayer flags flutter in sharp lines against a sky of dramatic, heavy clouds above a wind-swept mountain ridge near Lhasa. A cyclist leans hard into a turn, body low and knees tucked, descending the narrow dirt path with intense focus. Bright midmorning sun casts distinct, hard-edged shadows across the dry, tufted turf. The Dutch angle tilt emphasizes the steep slope and the rider's aggressive posture. Dust kicks up slightly behind the rear tire as the wheels grip the uneven ground. The rider wears a colorful helmet and tight athletic gear, against the muted earth tones of the landscape. One prayer flag corner snaps sharply in the wind just above the handlebars.
