Morning at the Jokhang (Juniper Mist)
Lhasa. May, 1993

In the mornings, especially on auspicious days, Tibetans burn juniper and other incense in front of temples and on roof tops. This morning, the juniper smoke was particularly heavy in front of Tibetan Buddhism's most sacred temple, the Jokhang.
