Geothermal vent steam rising in Lhasa valley in on a factory floor near Potala, Lhasa

Geothermal vent steam rising in Lhasa valley

by Cecilia Vance

Steam billows from industrial vents atop a concrete structure in a Lhasa valley, against the crisp late-afternoon light. Damp concrete surfaces glisten under the soft glow following rain, while autumn leaves in shades of gold and russet cling to rocks nearby. The vapor drifts slowly across the frame, blending with the cool air. Metal pipes run along the walls, showing signs of weathering and age. In the background, the silhouette of the Potala Palace rises against the pale sky, its red and white walls standing out against the muted tones of the valley. The scene shows the intersection of modern industry and ancient architecture, with the steam creating a dynamic layer between the two.
