Tibetan Buddhist monk's back view
The Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La, Yunnan is a very famous Tibetan Buddhist temple. There are hundreds of monks practicing there. It is also a popular tourist attraction. When I was visiting there, I went to a secluded side entrance and happened to see an elderly monk climbing up the stone steps. So I used door openings and colorful decorations as the background to line up his disappearing back.
