Father and son on pilgrimage - overland 1987

            Father and son on a pilgrimage around the most revered of mountains in Tibet: The Holy Kailash Mountain.

Nomadic people travel to holy places in Tibet from all around the realm. Pilgrims to mount Kailash will walk around the massive  and try to bring their extended families on these pilgrimages. In 1986-1988 there was a hopeful political window for the resurrection of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetans were allowed to renovate their holy places and traveling was fairly free. 1989 and Tianmen Square changed all that. 

 I was lucky to crisscross the amazing Tibetan plateau during 86-87 and meet nomadic people in many places. The memory of ancient places of worship during that time is vivid in my mind and the ambiance of Tibet filled me with awe and wonder.

 This picture was originally photographed on slide film with my Nikon FE camera and 135 mm telephoto lens. I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.
