Sub zero stroll along the shores of Lake Manasarovar (4580m), which is a 'kora' or religious circumambulation undertaken by Buddhists and (some) Hindus. You see the lone figure to the bottom right, and Mt Kailash (6700m) looms in the background. FE55 and a7r.
Sometimes I come across the 'Old Tibet', let's call it. One such town is Dzongba, about a day east of Mt Kailash by road. It's a checkpoint now so it was easy to find some time to see this old Sakyapa monastery. Travelling west is a journey back in time, very heady because it is all 4500m - 5200m. Zeiss 35-70mm (on Sony a7r). This one transitioned into the digital era with finesse. It's .. a 42 year old design, no asph, no APD glass, it was one of a few CZ lenses designed by later (1990s) Leica luminary Lothar Kolsch. https://wiki.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/Lothar_K%c3%b6lsch
So a ten year old camera and a 42 year old lens.
