The Tibetan people going about their daily buddhist practice in the Barkhor Square in central Lhasa, Tibet. The shot was taken from the top of the Jokhang temple, the spiritual centre of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan practice is to only circle the temple clockwise so it is not uncommon to see people circumnavigate the entire temple rather than go 10m in the opposite direction.
