Tibet: A Picture Story (Part 6)

Days Five, Six and Seven in Tibet (to and from Namuchuo Lake):
car issues:

filling up on gas (see the canister on the roof?) mid-way

we devised a handy contraption to block out the sun

flat tire, in the middle of a 140 km dirt road
did I mention that it was also raining?

spotted on the road:

sometime the snow really does come down in June

Namuchuo, finally:

we lived in a large one-room tent
obviously, it was nicer than the ones the Tibetans lived in, but it was a sort-of taste of their life.
the tent is made of two layers of fabric, both woven extremely tightly, so at night, even as you hear the wind howling, you don't really feel anything.

baaaa
the majority of Tibetans raise buffalo, sheep and goats

is that a baby sheep, a baby goat or a baby buffalo?
it's lying next to a buffalo, but it doesn't really look like a buffalo
we couldn't figure it out for the longest time, but then our guide told us it's a goat
