Real Fantasy

Our world is truly humbling - and here is some proof. This place, that looks as though it belongs on the cover of a fantasy novel and inspires the mind to write about assassins and deserts and other fantasy tropes like that, is actually the Buddhist Monastery of Ki, located in the Himalayas.


This photograph was taken by Natalia Luzuriaga.
