LAST NIGHT IN TIBET
Sometimes you have to break the law in order to get a good photo. Fortunately, another in my group agrees, so we both cross over a barbed-wire fence to remove power lines from a view of some dunes.Today is spent at Samye Monastery. To get there it is about an hour's drive, followed by an hour's boat ride, followed by a half hour of off-roading in a bus. Samye is Tibet's first monastery, dating back over 1200 years. If you climb a hill behind Samye, you discover that it is shaped like a mandala. I make it about three-fourths up the hill when it dawns on me that I was sick in bed only two days before, so I play it safe, take some photos from my elevated vantage point, then head back down.
Our last night in Tibet. A group of us hangs out for a while, though some hang out far longer than others.
Everything must end
One of the hardest lessons
Lightning in the sky
