I'm Not a Gambler But I Like Tibet

10 Days in Tibet - February 2007

 



 

The table top of the world

 

 

Lhasa - a city in the clouds.

Potala Palace

A window

Tea time! A kettle heated by the Sun.

Some Tibetans walk for miles as part of Kora (pilgrimage). Good footwear required. 

 

Meat market. They might want to check the latest amendments to the food standards bill!

 

Looks like a may-pole, but no dancing!

 

I had a pun in mind but decided not to 'stupa to that level'.

 The road less traveled

 "What a desolate place this is!"

 

 

The higher up we went, the colder it got!

 

"Over here! Hey! Hey! Help, please help!"

 

 

In all her glory. Mount Everest 8848m (29,029 ft)

 

 

 At 4,980 metres (16,340 ft). Still a long way up.

Good to think of the homeland when you are climbing.

A room with a view



 

 

A leap of faith



 

 

Fellow travelers meet to share experiences and stories

Find your passion and shoot for the Sun!
