Scenic landscape photograph of a stone-paved ridge near a high plateau lake shore, covered with carved mani stones bearing Tibetan script and many weathered animal horns, some with white cloth or paper tied to them. Behind them stretch a flat golden grassland and distant brown mountain ranges under a sky with large white cumulus clouds.
