Tibet 2011

In 2011, I my trip began in Chengdu. I stayed in the Tibetan quarter for a few days and went to the Panda Research Park. Then to Kanding or Dartsedo which was a major Tibetan trading center, as just over the 15,000 foot pass began the Tibetan Plateau. Tagong or Lhagong was the next stop as well as the Minya Konka area. I also stopped in Sade and a few villages along the way back to Chengdu.

For those interested in photography I was using a Nikon D700 many f/2.8 zooms and other Nikon accessories.

Prints are available at a very reasonable cost by simply clicking on the Buy button. If you have any comments or other needs I'd love to hear from you.
