about

I made a short visit to Lhasa in August 2009 to celebrate my birthday – which fortunately coincided with a large local festival in and around the capital. This festival attracted a large number of people into Lhasa from surrounding areas – adding to the air of excitement and celebration found in the temple fairs, monasteries, and around the old part of the city (as well as an increased military presence on the streets).

“Four nights in Lhasa” presents my impression of the festivitives, the celebrations and the religious devotion I witnessed in Tibet during this brief moment of time.
