High in the remote Himalayas, a broad plateau of golden grass stretches toward a ring of sharp white peaks under a deep indigo sky just after sunset. Long violet shadows race across the rolling terrain while the last warm light paints the highest snowfields in molten copper. A crystal-clear glacial stream meanders through the center, its banks lined with low alpine shrubs still holding a few late blossoms. In the far distance, a solitary prayer flag flutters from a cairn, the only vertical accent in an otherwise endless horizontal world of stone, wind, and fading color.
