Tibet photos from a pal we linked with in Lhasa

Esteemed Hollywood pyro guru and all-around swell guy Robert Hutchins, aka Hutch, has posted photographs he took in Lhasa. This incredible nighttime shot of the Barkhor square, just outside the Jokhang temple, is my favorite. Our travel trajectories crossed in Lhasa earlier this year, and we shared some adventures which Hutch details here: Link.

And here's from a page of snaps documenting travelers he met with along the road -- including me.

No words I might post here could describe what altitude sickness at 12,000 feet feels like more precisely than this self-portrait with oxygen can shot by Hutch in his room at Lhasa's Yak Hotel.
