Of the land
Photo by Peter Laurenson
Travelling as an independent backpacker in 1992, leaving the Friendship Highway that carries on to Nepal at Xegar, I visited Everest Base camp on foot, passing through and staying at extremely basic villages along the route. Here is an old Tibetan lady that I stayed with one night. Behind her is a view back across the Tingri plains towards the trail leading to Khumbu La and Khumbu in Nepal. Her weathered features manifest the harsh environment she and her people live in / Nikon F801S, Fuji Velvia slide film, settings not recorded\n
