Photo of the Day

Mountain Meditation

A Buddhist monk plays a traditional horn in Ladakh, India. "Much of a Buddhist monk’s day is filled with prayer, meditation, and chanting," explains Your Shot photographer Michael Maher. "Often Buddhist prayers are accompanied by monks playing Tibetan horns, encrusted with silver, gold, coral and turquoise ornaments."
