Changing Faces of Tarthang Monastery 达唐寺

Surrounded by the "treasure mouse."

I'm just going to share these photos without much comment. The above item is an exception. This is a thirteen floor library, which when it was proposed to me at least, was to be built just outside of Chengdu, but that seems to have changed (?) The rest of these pictures are of different vintages and come from different hands. One imagines they were taken with various brands of motivation. If you know the back-story, they more or less speak for themselves. If you don't... well... there's no point in thinking too much.
