Prayer Flags Fluttering Near Summit Cairn in Autumn Mist

by Tanya Mora

Vibrant blue, white, red, green, and yellow prayer flags stretch taut against a pale, featureless sky, their edges fraying from the relentless wind. Beside the fluttering cloth, a rough cairn of stacked grey stones rises from the thin alpine soil, marking the summit above the tree line. Early autumn light flattens the landscape, casting short shadows that barely touch the ground. A thick mist rests on the lower slopes, softening the distant ridges into grey washes. The colored fabric catches the diffuse noon glare, creating a stained-glass effect where light falls through the translucent threads. Fine dust particles swirl around the stone pile, settling on the rough, weathered surfaces of the rocks. The flags snap and ripple, their movement the only activity in the still, hazy air. A sharp edge of blue fabric cuts across the grey mist at the bottom right corner.
