There are prayer wheels everywhere, of all sizes, some are portable and spin on a small stick, and some are huge and really take some muscle to turn. They were everywhere along out path in the mountains, and very common in towns where there were Buddhist temples, monasteries, or shrines. Our porter Buddhi even had a spinning prayer wheel "screen saver" on his cell phone!
Tuckervill, to learn more read Terry Pratchett's books. No not really, but it was kind of cool to see real ones.

As usual, Ann, you wowed us with your imagery and your vision.
