miscellaneous rambling

This shot of me resting on the edge of the cliff overlooking the Drigung Til Valley about 2 hours drive outside of Lhasa. The monastery above is located along a road that is too small for our bus, so we walked up from the valley which you see below. It was a nice walk, and wasn't too hot that day. This monastery is the holiest site for sky burials in the Lhasa region. Unfortunately it is now illegal for outsiders to view the burials, or even go to the burial sites. It was disapointing, and the monastery was partially under re-construction too. Although a small stop that was a 4 hour detour on our way out to Bayi, it was still worth the time to stop and enjoy the view.
