hey tim. my back was fine (i have problems usually the first night on a new bed though). you do need to be careful of who's in the yurt with you. i had the guy i was traveling with on one side of me, and our driver on the other side, and i mean right beside me. and both sawed a forest of logs that night lol. i ended up going for a walk outside at 4am and just stayed out till the sun came up. i'm a light sleeper.

WOW fabulous composition James. They blend right into the landscape in such a humble way....I feel so extravagant in my life style at present. How's the back after a night in the yurt?...lol

aiiiieee so much for the romance of the woolen yurt...haha...It is photos like this that make me want to tag along on one of your future pursuits. I am very interested in hearing more about your ideas on a trip there. In December i will be going to the Antarctic and then over to Patagonia on the Chile side. Torre Del Paine area.

Hi James,
This is a great image of similar and contrasting shapes ... the sharp angles of the rock ridges, the point of the yurt, and the more rounded shapes of the camels. I didn't know that some people are building concrete yurts. Does this mean they are becoming less nomadic?
Thanks for commenting on my Balloons and Fog 2 image. -- Naomi

good portraits and the fact that you decide to put them together make it better than one at a time.
well done

Hi Alison. The people who live around Karakul Lake apparently don't stay here year round (so I was told). In winter, they make off with their yurts and animals and go elsewhere, probably to lower ground. As for making a living, in summer, they seem to make enough money from travellers who come by and look around. Any income would be derived from those travellers who stay the night, one night in a yurt costing RMB30 per person (about $4), and a meal costing RMB10. In winter, who knows? It's not expensive to live around this part of China anyway.
Warmest regards ~ James

Great shot of the local life, I can't believe the solar panel, that is really great. The area really seems pretty desolate, how do they make a living there.?? Alison

good weather is the key in hong kong alberto. unfortunately, i have rarely found it to be good when i'm in hong kong. will be going there tomorrow to get a new visa for china, without my camera, so i'm sure the weather will be fine tomorrow.

It's funny how you can go to the same place and almost take same picture...we were lucky,and you too, as I heard that some time ago they did not allow pictures inside.
Your picture is excellent. Congratulations for your portfolio.
