Scary beautiful drive from Lhasa to Shigatse
Cool bridge on the way out.
Reflecting pool.
Typical Tibetan house in basic design we'd see all the way.
Harvest time of fields filled with barley.
Golden barley fields
We quickly get into mountain roads!
Common to see yaks.
Holy Yamdrok Tso Lake, over 14,000 feet and amazingly beautiful.
The color is remarkable.
Not sure what they are cutting.
Sorry, I just can't stop the lake photos!
Our climb continues, although we are never driving in snow.
Highest pass of the trip. Lots of prayer flags!
A village in the mountain.
The boys were fascinated to see their photo!

Under construction
Pelkhor Chode Monastery (1418) and Kumbum Stupa (shown) in Gyantse, on the way to Shigatse
Buses, vans, tractors, trucks, and a horse. Busy place I believe it is still Gyantse.
I believe this structure is in disrepair and not yet safe to visit.
