the qinghai-tibet railway photolog.

Views from the top of the world-

We left Chengdu at 8:30PM, September 18

Dusty Gangsu Province by dawn. . .

. . . becomes an afternoon of reading, backed by occasional waters.

Evening ascent towards the Tanggula Pass (~5,000m high!)

We wake on the second day to. . . snow!

The bluest skies I've seen all year. . .


Ice-cream mountains roll by for listless hours. . .

. . . until finally, at 5:27, September 20-!
