Photos from the Shoebox: Gyantse Tibet 1990

If you had a 35mm camera you probably have a shoebox full of pictures that you never got around to sorting and putting in an album. In this series “Photos from the Shoebox” I take them out of the closest and shine light on them once more.

Approaching the town of Gyantse Tibet

It’s November in Tibet and the surrounding landscape is a monotone of grey and brown. After hours and hours of driving over a moon like landscape the town of Gyantse suddenly appears before us looking as if it’s carved right out of the side of the mountain. We stop here to visit the Palcho Monastery.
