This is killer. Nice shots!

Nice. Always love to see your photos.

spectacular as always. I really like all the temple shots...the last temple is my favorite, but the staircase on the right seems very odd.

I also like the olympic arena...very cool.

Which stairs are you referring to?

Wow man, amazing pictures. Looks to be a seriously nice place to visit. How did it go for you with visas and such? Any special things you had to do? How long did you go for?

Wow, awesome shots! :thumbsup:

Getting a Chinese Visa is easy, it can be done at the Chinese consulate in Calgary (4 days). Tibetan travel permits are only provided through a travel agency and only 5 days before they are to be used. I normal travel on my own, but because of this restriction I hired a driver through a travel agency. For a Canadian citizen getting a Tibetan permit shouldn't be difficult unless there is unrest in Tibet at the time, the boarder was closed to travelers in 2008 because of unrest. I spent 10 days in Tibet, 4 in Dalian for a conference and then a couple of days in Beijing as well.
