Around the Mountain

[Show as slideshow]
Pilgrims A collection of pilgrims, in town for Losar.
Girl Translator The ten-year-old girl who was translating for me...

Tien Origami Animals ...and me with the origami animals I folded for her.
Tien With Dog She took a photo of me with one of the three dogs....

Tien in Kitchen ...and one of me in the kitchen where I was staying...
Tien at Shrine to Guru Padmasambhava

...and one of me in the main shrine to Guru Padmasambhava. (A photo of the Dalai Lama is to my left.)

If you get the impression she was fascinated by my digital camera, you are right. ;-)


Cow Grazing Rewalsar Lake, behind the cows grazing in the trashbin. (I really must suggest this to the Palo Alto City Council when I get back...why, just think of the reduction in solid waste management...)
Construction Site The construction site for a giant statue of Guru Padmasambhava.

Construction Stones A heap of stones at the construction site. Look closely: every stone is hand-carved, with hammer and chisel!
Pots The interior of the kitchen where I slept. Take a closer look at the pots hanging on the wall: they're handmade! and the pots are hand-hammered, too.

Pilgrims Lamps A shrine next to the kitchen. I still don't know who it's to...
Wind-Powered Prayer Wheel A wind-powered prayer wheel. Pretty neat, eh?
