Driving With Sheep

10.09.05. Driving in Tibet, lookout for the sheep!

10.08.05. Lhasa, Tibet. Yak butter burning candels, yummy smelling :)

10.08.05. Lhasa, Tibet. Just like prayer wheels, the Tibetans write prayers on prayer flags and every time the flag flaps in the wind it sends that prayer off to the gods. Thus the importance of placing your flag on a mountain top or near a river where there is lots of wind. It also sends the prayer for the person who put the flags there in the first place. A clever way to send more prayers! Do you see them at the top?

10.08.05. Lhasa, Tibet. Here we come moutains!

Roof-top Prayers
