Starting out posting links to my photos online with the oldest ones first. This is a trip to Tibet I took in 2002. The major places of interest were Lhasa with Potola Palace and Jokhang Temple, and the Tashilunpo Monastery in Shigatse. http://kimbriggs.com/photo/china/tibet
The photo shown is Gyantse Kumbum and represents a three dimensional mandala. It is close to a spiral collection of chapels representing the different stages of heaven.
