[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Tibetians turn prayer wheels to send their prayers to heaven. Inside the wheels are long strips of paper written with prayers wound around and around the middle piece of medal or wood. Prayer wheels can be tiny or huge, hand held, or bigger than many people around, and taller than 10 ft. The apron shows the Tibetian woman is married. Her prayer beads are on her wrist. I have spun many prayer wheels as I walk through India, Tibet, and Nepal.

HI Gloria. This can be the pair of my shot (Incredible Hungary) fortunately uploaded directly after yours. Your shot is very expressive. Many thanks for sharing,Jalab

Hi, Gloria.
Good scene and touching old lady.
But there is some technical lacks...
And your photo is too clear, for my taste...
I tried a WS to give a little of atmosphere to this scene...
Best regards. Grazyna.
