ooops blue vok dropped
Filed Under Photo's, travel | Leave a Comment
Traveling along the friendship highway from Lhasa to Mt Everest we happened apon this piece of pristine wilderness, Yamdrok-Tso lake. Its known for its rich turquoise coloured waters.
Anyways a broken down truck was holding up travels and forced an unscheduled 2 hour wait. We got to having a few drinks, and the 2 hours went fast. So fast I left behind the bottle of blue Vok we were drinking at the time. Two days later, I saw this photo in the Yamdrok-Tso local rag with title… “who stole the turquoise”. I feel really bad, so i’m heading back later this year with a bottle of midori, hopefully to right some wrongs, and give the people of Yamdrok-Tso their lake back.
Hey, did you see the rest of my photo’s at flickr.

the great wall collection

On a freezing cold morning, during my trek along the Great Wall in Simatai, I got a sudden & quiet unexpected burst of inspiration to do an Ansel Adams photo. Well this is my attempt. I know Ansel would be turning in his grave, (its not black & white), but hey. You do the best with what you got, and I had this. Hope you enjoy.
As always the all my photo’s are at my flickr account.

Seen here, spinning the wheels of prayer in Jokhang Place | Lhasa, the 14th Dali Lama certainly looked ready for festivities at the 5th Annual Tibetan DJ championships.
This and other Lhasa photos are on my flickr photo site.
