Amidst the tension between the Chinese army and the native Tibetan’s fighting for independence, photo taking was severely scrutinized and limited by the ever present army. Photos of any soldier was strictly not allowed but the following photos show a lighter side of life in Tibet.  These were taken at the daily fountain display that happens in the evening at the People’s Square across the street from Potala Palace.  Essentially, the fountain display is a show of water, music, and lights.  As you can see, teenagers flock to the fountains and dance and run through them trying to predict and dodge the jets of water that unpredictably spray out from under them.

At Meiji Shrine temple visitors often inscribe messages on wooden placards. They consist mostly of wishes and aspirations, things that people hope for, either for themselves or for the world. Some are funny, some are strange, but they all have their own unique charm.

If you havent donated to the cause already, please do so, as Japan need as much support as possible.
There is still much re-building ahead. Thanks and blessings.
