Random photo: Labrang monastery, Gansu
This photo was taken with my Leica R7 camera and a telephoto lens (Elmarit-R 135mm, I think) from a high ridge to the north while doing the mini-circuit of the monastery.
Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail
