Photohunters: String(s)

prayer flags 2


I love the idea of prayer flags. They were once brand new and bright, and after time and weather they become stringy, ripped and faded, but the thought behind them remains.

I like the idea as well, it reminds me of how people decorate grave sites and sometimes those street sights where something occurred.

quite a nice take on photohunt
