the empty road.











Most of Tibet looks just like that - beautiful and boring as hell. Turqoise lake, gaping gorge, snowy, cloud-laced mountains. . . for hundreds of miles. It gets a little grueling, particularly if one lacks even a rudimentary working knowledge of geology (by day). By night, distant galaxies become pronounced. For city-dwelling I, it was all fascinating; I stood outside for as long as I could bear the cold each night, neck craning, eyes wide.
