14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Waiting for "food"
I took this photo in Larung Gar, a tibetan buddhist academy (the largest in the world) situated in north Sichuan on a high altitude plateau. Here, tibetan, still practice the "sky funerals". Those vultures are waiting a dead body to be released from his shroud.
