A scenic photograph of an empty paved road running straight toward a steep, rocky, brown hill crowned by a small whitewashed monastery-style building with a red-trimmed roof, its slopes strung with colourful prayer flags. A roadside two-storey building with red-and-green roof trim and white-framed windows stands at right beside a yellow ground-level wall and a round white 30 km/h speed-limit sign. Strings of multicoloured prayer flags stretch across the hill and along the roadside, and the sky is overcast grey. No people are visible.
