Potala at Dawn, Tibet
Photograph by Randy Krieger

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Photos

This is my favorite picture from Tibet. I had scouted this shot out the previous evening, but when I returned before dawn there were fires burning up on the stupa I had planned to shoot from. Not understanding what was happening, I climbed up anyway and learned the local people come out every Wednesday to pray for the Dalai Lama’s return. They burn grasses and spices they buy down on the street. While the sun never came out properly to light the palace, this shot has far more.

本月每日一图的主题是：你的照片

这是我最喜欢的一张来自西藏的照片。我在前一天晚上取好了景，但当我在黎明前回到那里时，我原来准备作为机位的圆顶塔上燃着火。虽然不明白正在发生什么，我还是爬了上去，之后我得知当地居民每周三都会出来为Dalai Lama的归来而祈祷。他们来到街头燃烧干草和买来的香料。太阳从未能很好地照亮这座宫殿，所以这张照片就有了更深远的意义。
