The People of Tibet

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
