Shy Tibetan child |

Another child resorts to asking for cigarettes from tourists. |

Elderly woman... Evidence of years gone by drape themselves in layers, perforated by burrows... |







|
Local woman caking the walls of her house with mud, in preparation for the monsoon season. |

|
Drawing water from a communal well to do her laundry. |
|
Finding contentment and fulfilment in the drudgery of everyday life. |






|
Lamas spend all their time deliberating scripture and pondering the meaning of life... |










|
... oh well, make that most of the time. |

|
There's no escaping the "clutches" of modern technology... |

|
Lamas need mobile phones too! |








|
The devoted pilgrims flock from all across Tibet, making arduous journeys to the numerous sacred sites to offer their prayers... |




|
... despite their infirmities. |








|
Most certainly wouldn't mind posing for a picture or two. =P |
