Tibet3 - Going home? As we took a break to take picture at one the passes, there were a black silhouette walking slowly but surely toward our truck from afar, there were no house nearby except for the ones at the bottom of the opposite mountain. If her house is there, i hope she has good shoes!

Tibet2 – Yak is her best friend.
In Tibet, yaks are everywhere and do many things.They work hard on the fields, they transport people from one mountain to another, their skins & feather protect people from extreme weather, their meat taste good, their fat replaces candles in temples and on top of that they are good tourist attraction!

Tibet4 – Between 2 worlds.
According Tibetan Buddhism, when a person dies, they enter the “intermediate state” in the ghost world in a ghost body and then might reborn as another human being unless they achieve Nirvana. In this picture, the dark silhouette of a woman in the shadow against a bright wall makes her look like a ghost wandering between the death and living world.
