    Just love these Spinners taken in Dzamthang village, near an extraordinary Monastery in Tibet.

    We had attracted a little too much attention, so spent a morning climbing up the mountain behind the village.  Camped under these prayer flags for lunch.

    Dzamthang Monastery – Tibet

    AMAZING – what else can one say, simply glorious. We were afforded a private tour and free access for photography and video.  We started in the main prayer area – SO beautiful!!! Under restoration and being carefully repainted and repaired, we explored the 5 levels around the gorgeous central Buddha. Then we were escorted to see the records area, the hand made wooden print stencils, the 14th Lama King’s resting place, the storage area for statues representing the 8 Buddhist traditions and the views from the rooftop. An AMAZING experience!!! A photographer’s dream.  Here are just 15 of hundreds and hundreds of photos!!!!
