Good Luck

Posted by baobab (Cambridge, United States) on 17 January 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I am travelling at the moment so here's one from the archives. As always thanks for your visits and your comments.

This shot is from Gamta Pass in Tibet, on the road to Everest Base Camp. This is about 100 km south east of Lhasa - i.e. a very windy 3+ hour drive up to over 4,400 metres. Gamta Pass overlooks the sacred Yamdrok Lake.

In Tibet prayer flags are traditionally tied at high points for good luck. There were thousands upon thousands of skeins of prayer flags tied here by all who had gone before us.
