My day at Boudhanath transitioned from a relaxing afternoon of photographing colorful prayer flags and the holy stupa to snapping off a few frames of a demonstration before my battery died. The mini protest regarded the inhumane treatment of Tibetans in China. I was astonished to witness the contrast between the peaceful people praying relentlessly and spinning prayer wheels and the angry police officers and hostility that suddenly arose when the candle-lit demonstration began. As you can see below, the weather changed accordingly and dark clouds appropriately announced the buddhists' anger.
