poc > Lake Yamdrok-Tso, a huge, scorpion-shaped lake in Tibet that is rapidly being drained to provide water and electricity for Han settlers moving into Lhasa from China. The lake has long been a spiritual center for the people of Tibet, and is obviously beautiful. Regardless of your political views it would be a shame to lose such a place. You can already see the water has dropped significantly.
poc > A high pass on the road to Namtso, Tibet from Gyantse, Tibet. This isn't a normal route between the two cities. We had to dodge some roadblocks erected by the Chinese army to cordon off the area for the Panchen Lama's visit to the area. The snow line on the mountains in the distance is around 5500m (18000ft).
poc > Monks in Tashilumpo monastery in Shigatse, Tibet take a momentary break between prayer sessions in preparation for a visit from the Panchen Lama the next day.
poc > The Maitreya (future) Buddha in Tashilumpo Monastery in Shigatse, Tibet. You can see pictures of the previous Panchen lamas and the new Panchen Lama that was selected by the Chinese government (lower right).
poc > The Amitabha Buddha (Panchen Lama) in Gyantse, Tibet.
poc > The Potala. Ancient home of the Dalai Lama. UNESCO World Heritage Site. A flashpoint in the decades-long struggle between the Chinese government and the Tibetan people. Perfect place to get a snapshot of me in my favorite soccer jersey. Oooh yeah.
poc > Me and my yak at lake Yamdrok-Tso in Tibet with my super-cool Indiana Jones hat. I loved that hat.
poc > Chenresig, the Tibetan Buddha of Compassion, in Gyantse Tibet.
