Free Tibet

Here are some pictures I took early this month in Xiahe, China (Labrang in Tibetan). A small village-monastery located in the southwest of Gansu province, this place is home to the largest number of monks outside of Tibet Autonomous Region. It is one of the six great monasteries of the Geluk (Yellow Hat) school of Tibetan Buddhism, of which the Dalai Lama is a member.
The portraits are of villagers from the surrounding Sangke grassland. I’d like to send them the pictures, but I am not sure how often the postman delivers mail there. Any idea?
