Sera Monastery in Lhasa|The Divine Moment of Winter Light and Shadow

Finally caught the stunning light and shadow at Sera Monastery in Lhasa! The lighting between 5-6 PM is absolutely amazing, creating a cinematic masterpiece 🎬 Winter at Sera Monastery is less noisy and more tranquil. After 5 PM, the sun slowly sets at an angle, casting soft golden light on the white walls and yellow tiles. The interplay of light and shadow outlines the temple’s contours with great depth. Whether standing in the gap between white walls, leaning against ancient trees, or walking on the stone paths, the light acts like a built-in filter, making the atmosphere perfect without much editing. The black coat contrasts with the temple’s red and white tones, giving a vintage yet sophisticated vibe—every shot tells a story. 📸 Photo tips: ▫️ Choose 5-6 PM, the side light before sunset is best for photos After 4:40 PM, tickets cost only 10 RMB
