Griffon Above Tibetan Monastery

A Himalayan griffon vulture above a Tibetan monastery shows the wild beauty of the high mountains. In this image, a huge griffon vulture soars above a golden-roofed monastery. Snowy peaks rise in the background. The vulture’s wings stretch wide, and each feather stands out against the blue sky.

Griffon vultures are some of the largest birds in the Himalayas. They glide for hours on mountain winds, searching for food. For example, these birds help keep the environment clean by eating what is left behind by other animals. Because they depend on healthy mountain habitats, seeing a Himalayan griffon vulture above a Tibetan monastery is a sign of a balanced ecosystem.

The monastery adds a peaceful, cultural touch to the scene. Temples like these are important places for local people. Meanwhile, vultures are respected in Himalayan traditions as symbols of freedom and the circle of life. The mix of soaring bird, ancient building, and dramatic mountains makes this image special.
