Tibetan Landscape from a Mountain Bike

This picture was taken the morning after we rejoined the friendship highway, after leaving behind the majesty of Everest, and some severe weather conditions. Since we had a long road ahead that day, we set off shortly after sunrise, and were rewarded with a breathless start to the day, allowing the mountains to be perfectly mirrored in a lake we cycled past shortly after setting out. I think it captures Tibet's poise and rugged beauty, something that is maintained through calm and storm. Though the unitiated should not allow such moments of tranquility to lull them into complacency of what the same scene might look like later in the day.
