Covered bridge

In contrast to the last covered bridge I posted, this one in Bhutan is covered in prayer flags. The multicolored flags are printed with prayers and it is believed that they are "said" every time the flag flutters in the wind. So the benefit of the simple act of hanging a string of prayer flags is multiplied several thousand-fold. Since there are prayer flags all over Bhutan, the country is like a power plant generating continuous prayers for all sentient beings.
