Tibet, Dropuri, Medicine Rock, 1991
Tibet, Dropuri, Medicine Rock, 1991 - The first time I visited Tibet was in 1991. At that time, the ground in front of Dropuri, or Medicine Rock, was natural earth, as shown in this photograph. I returned in 1995 on the way to Everest, disappointed to find that the ground had been paved with asphalt, a completely inappropriate material for this site. This rock wall was once contiguous with a ridge that led to the Potala Palace. In their enthusiasm for wanton progress, the government blasted a hole in the ridge to make room for an asphalt road. Is there no respect?
