Hi, wonderful shot! Perfectly balance. Did you use a flash for this one?
Seems like you've been in Tibet for quite some time now?.. I've been there about 7 years ago for a few weeks only. I just read an article about the Chinese getting more and more in control in Lhasa and the rest of Tibet and they write Tibet is becoming more Chinese every day now....

No flash as honestly I don't know how to use flash.
This is not a current picture but was from a roll from last year. I shoot film and it takes me literally a year to scan the 30 or so rolls I'll shoot on a 3 week trip. I just post the interesting ones as they come up.
Re Tibet's become Chinese, yes you see it everywhere... But Lhasa has basically been a Chinese city for 20 years. Tibetans are a minority there now. And in virtually every city indigenous architecture has been destroyed, but that said, Tibetan culture is still thriving... It's not a black and white situation...
