Description
Pagoda with a base, four tiers of hexagonal panels, a cap, and a pinacle with three spheres. A lone monk stands beside the pagoda and is dwarfed by it. In the background one can see a circling path leading to nearby mountaintops. There is also a distant mountain range behind that. The caption list refers to another photograph of the same subject, but with 3 year old Margaret Graham in the photo instead of the priest.
