Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Travel and Culture Gallery, week ending 21st December, 2012!Hi all,
Just back from a long weekend up on the Tibetan Border - some great conditions, with clear skies and some excellent Aplenglow at sunrise.

While out walking one day we were drawn to this scene unfolding below us on a terraced hillside. The fields were glowing in the high altitude sunlight, the dry air baking everything over the long winter.

Unusually, no power lines or phone cables blot this landscape, a sign that technology is slow to reach this isolated corner of the Himalaya.

Please download our FREE eBook - The Sacred Mountains of Tibet a personal tribute from Juanli and myself to this unique area.

A vertigo shot! Interesting coloration -- just a wild guess but I'll bet the reddleman lives in the house in the fg.

Nice study in textures here.

Very nice Mosaic of natural life and colors

Wonderful image and big congrats on yet another well deserved IOW!...........not only have you won IOW in the T&C section..........you are actually/physically IN the landscapes IOW ......come on mate, that's got to be a first!
