Blessings in the Wind
Marpha, Nepal
"Blessings in the Wind" captures the vibrant essence of Marpha, Nepal. Colorful prayer flags, extending from the top to the bottom of the frame, guide the viewer's gaze towards a distant mountain shrouded in impending storm clouds. These prayer flags, an omnipresent sight in Nepal and Tibet, serve as a conduit between the village of Marpha and the revered Buddhist temple atop the hill. Their purpose is to bestow blessings upon the land and its people, creating a spiritual connection with the surrounding landscape. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
