About the Photo: Following the orders of the Governor of New York, the Metropolitan Transportation Agency shut down the entire New York City transportation system. The MTA posted photos of the eerily empty transportation system on its Flickr account.  This shut down is only the second time in history that it has been closed because of a natural disaster.

Description from the Photographer: Ki Gompa. This picture was taken when I visited the Buddhist Monastery of Ki. Ki is a tiny village in the middle of the Himalayas, and next to it is Ki Gompa (Ki Monastery). I lived with the monks for about a week, and this picture reflects the peaceful, almost heavenly atmosphere that characterizes this place. The Monastery is almost 4,000 meters high, and I had to climb almost 500 meters more to get this panorama. This place is a touch of heaven.
