The holy sites of the Himalayas unite faith and geography to produce some of the most sublime places on Earth, and here David Zurick draws from his 35 years of experience in the region to document how these divine landscapes are undergoing profound change. The nearly 100 black and white photographs here include images of a lake shrine in Nepal; nine novice monks, some not yet adolescents; a solemn pilgrim in the expanses of Tibet; a monastery picnic, high in the mountains; a headless yet still peaceful Buddha statue; and the basketball court at a Shangri-La temple.
