EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Mebar Tsho, also known as The Burning Lake, in Bumthang, Bhutan. The image showcases a mesmerizing display of prayer flags fluttering gently in the breeze against a backdrop of crystal-clear water and lush greenery. According to local legend, this sacred lake holds great significance for Buddhists as it is believed that Pema Lingpa, a renowned spiritual figure, once held a burning butter lamp under its waters. This act symbolizes his ability to retrieve hidden treasures from the depths of the lake. The vibrant colors of the prayer flags add an enchanting touch to this already picturesque scene. Each flag represents prayers and wishes offered by devotees who hope for peace, prosperity, and good fortune. As they sway in harmony with nature's rhythm, these flags create an atmosphere of tranquility and spirituality. Bhutan is well-known for its rich customs and religious traditions rooted in Buddhism. Mebar Tsho stands as a testament to the deep faith that permeates every aspect of life in this Himalayan kingdom. Annie Owen/Robert Harding has masterfully captured both the cultural significance and natural splendor found at Mebar Tsho through her lens. This print serves as a visual reminder of Bhutan's unique blend of customs and religions while inviting viewers on a journey into one of Asia's most awe-inspiring travel destinations.
