Five Colours Lake, Yading in May 2010 by Rolleicord and Ektachrome

These pictures were all taken with my cheap and cheerful Rolleicord using Kodak Ektachrome film (now discontinued - sob sob), during a long 'outer kora' (circuit) of the three sacred peaks Chanadorje, Jambeyang and Shenrezig in May 2010.
