Freight Locomotive in Snowy Lhasa Pass

Hard coastal glare illuminates a freight locomotive hauling cars through a snowy mountain pass near Lhasa. Early summer snow blankets the rugged terrain while thick mist softens the distant ridges. Colorful prayer flags flutter against the pale sky above the steel train. The foreground reflects the locomotive and flags in a wet, mirrored surface, doubling the image with sharp clarity. Rust textures on the train contrast with the white snow and gray mist. The metallic sheen of the engine catches the bright light, creating a stark visual against the soft atmospheric haze. One reflection of a red prayer flag shimmers on the water's edge.
