Namtso is the largest saltlake in Tibet (70 on 30 km) and relatively high on 4.700m. Around the blue lake a ring of snowmountains lies of which the highest tops are even in the summer still covert with snow and ice. Lhasa is the traditional capital of Tibet and the capital of the Tibetaanse autonomous region, Tibet since 1949 China has been, as it happens, considered as its autonomous region Xizang. The city is the traditional seat of Dalai Lama with the palaces; Potala and Norbulingka. The city is considered in tibetan Buddhism as the holiest centre of Tibet. In the city approximately 257,000 people live. With an altitude of approximately 3650 m. the city has been lain of the highest cities of the world. Tibet, the country around, the roof of the world is thus, however, called. Lhasa mean litteral " spot of the spirits". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Namtso is het grootste zoutmeer in Tibet (70 op 30 km) en is relatief hoog gelegen op 4.700m. Rondom het blauwe meer ligt een ring van sneeuwbergen waarvan de hoogste toppen zelfs in de zomer nog altijd bedekt zijn met sneeuw en ijs.

Lhasa is de traditionele hoofdstad van Tibet en de hoofdstad van de Tibetaanse Autonome Regio, Tibet wordt namelijk sinds 1949 door China beschouwd als zijn autonome regio Xizang.
De stad is de traditionele zetel van de Dalai Lama met de paleizen Potala en Norbulingka. De stad wordt in het Tibetaans Boeddhisme gezien als het heiligste centrum van Tibet.
In de stad wonen ongeveer 257.000 mensen. Met een hoogte van ongeveer 3650 m is de stad een van de hoogst gelegen steden van de wereld. Tibet, het land er omheen, wordt dan ook wel het dak van de wereld genoemd. Lhasa betekent letterlijk "plek van de goden". Oude Tibetaanse documenten en inscripties spreken echter tot vroeg in de 7e eeuw van Rasa, wat "binnenhofplek" of "geitenplek" betekent.

It's a classic landscape with wonderful life. Mountains and sky are superb. This type of life is very unique in the world. Chinese economy is boosting up day by day. This type of lifestyle will finish with this economy razor.

Hi Willemien
This grabbed my attention from your intro page. Excellent show of daily life while the backdrop shows real beauty as I imagine Tibet to be. The horizon line has not be broken by the people and that is important in a capture like this. Outstanding colours also.

Jim
