under heaven, a photo from Qinghai, West

Photographer's Note

Typical Tibetan architecture. Sturdy thick walls, with colourful details and golden decorations on the roof to top it all off.

This building belongs to the small Tibetan monastery of Guide, which lies roughly halfway between the town center and the big praying wheel on the banks of the Yellow River. That big wheel is the main center of attention, but this monastery is a lot older.

Hallo Benny,
Mooie foto van de traditionele architectuur van Tibet. De details zijn erg mooi en goed zichtbaar in het heldere licht. Met name de gele ornamenten springen eruit. Prima compositie ook.

Dear Benny
Indeed the architecture is very Tibetan...small windows, thick walls & the quadrilateral shapes design around the windows. The close framing works well...the golden prayer wheel on the roof is a strong focus grabber
Best Regards
