 The Memorial Chapel at Peaceful Valley Lodge, near Ward, CO. The unusual, wooden, onion-shaped bell tower spire is as close as I can get to something which would represent Asia.... or my impression of the Himalayan Mountains. Onion-shaped spires can be seen from Moscow to the Mideast to Mongolia. The architecture is shared by Russian Orthodox and Muslims.

The title "Lost Horizon" refers to the Frank Capra movie, "Lost Horizon", which was the mythical Shangri-La in Tibet. This valley in Colorado has always been one I've thought of as a Shangri-La type place. Oh, this image will be blasted with low scores, but it makes me happy.

could you have played with the curves and levels a little more? Bring out the greens just a little

Asia really ? Evokes more East Europe than Asia for me.
Some strange blue pixels here and there, the result of an incomplete selection ?
The composition is good, would work better with a sharp foreground though.
