Essence of Tibet - 2004

"The best of" my Tibetan pictures of 2004. Actually, all the pictures are taken in the provinces surrounding "Tibet Province" and were part of Tibet proper before the Chinese invasion and occupation. With thanks to Phil Douglis for the editing http://www.pbase.com/pnd1

This is a beautiful gallery and it makes me happy to see photos of the Kham region of Tibet, which is arguably more "authentic" than many of the areas within the political border. I've seen photos of Tibetans taken in the 1930's that look almost identical to the people you see today in the Kham region. Very nice!
