[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another picture of the Yamdrok Tso from a 5000 metre high pass; this time looking east.

Tibetan settlements are scattered along the lake, and some hours further down the road is the small city, Nangartse. The lake is being drained, however, due to a Chinese hydropower project on the other side of the mountain.
The landscape is, needless to say, beautiful in this area, and it was great motorbike riding in sunshine until a few hours later, it suddenly got very cold and started to hail!!

Beautifully composed image, with the winding shoreline leading the eye very nicely through the scenery towards the focal point at the end of the lake. The low light on the successive hills conveys a great impression of depth. A barren and simple yet appealing landscape. A polarizing filter would have helped here, producing richer colors and more contrast in the sky.
