This is one of my favourite shots taken during my time in Lhasa, field directing for NHNZ/CICC on the documentary China's Secret Lands. The view is from the rooftop of a local restaurant at the edge of the ancient city center. In the distance is the Potala Palace, tucked under the god-rays. These buildings probably haven't seen many decades of age - but enough time to fade the sharp colours of prayer flags and brush away the flatness of functional Chinese architecture.

Here's some more shots.
