"The Wind Horse is a mythical Tibetan creature from pre-Buddhist times, which combines the speed of the wind and the strength of the horse to carry prayers from Earth to the heavens. Horses are a traditional symbol among the nomads of Tibet.

Wind horses are often found on Tibetan prayer flag, to spread their positive energy over the world via the wind." - from wiki

I liked the colours these flags bring to the landscape.

crop, edit --every (digital) photographer's best friend :-P

i'm just a photo enthusiast, can't even be considered an amateur since i only use a point and shoot. but still i enjoy Flickr since it teaches me a lot about photography and gives me inspiration. just try browsing it if you have time to spare.

skt37 wrote on Dec 12, '06

the point and shoot also's a good camera Miriel,

these guys are quite flexible these days. for some shots, they can be comparable to a DSLR. all depends on how you frame the picture. :)

i'm on flickr already.... but too lazy to upload the pics on both sides. haha.
