Prayer flags are a lively and festive way to send prayers out to the ether, every time the wind whips the flag it invokes the prayers upon it, and they're fairly ubiquitous in Tibet. Most often you'll see them strung aloft from 100 wires atop the highest peaks. After a few months in the elements, though, they tend to look haggard and a bit more like tattered dishtowels on a clothesline than something sacred.
