Hi, I’m twenty-year student from Poland. Last year I finished high school and now enjoy the scholarship as a Chinese language student on one of Chinese universities.China can boast of a great cultural heritage and many great places.But in Tibet, I found that so far I didn’t know that the world could be so BEAUTIFUL!I decided to share with you some of my pictures and in a unique way present my impressions of this unforgettable,Tibetan expedition.I hope you also will be under the spell of this wonderful place, where ‘beauty of nature consolidates river banks of Tibetan flowing river’.

Story

flowing water, FREEZING, snow and ice, MELTING, flowing water–deep description of my trip to Tibet! Water changes its states of aggregation according to temperature,so it’s easy to guess that I started in Lhasa, went south, didn’t achieve Mt. Everest,went back to the north.Heraclitus of Ephesus said Panta rhei,flowing water of the river the best shows idea that everything on the world constantly has changed.I wanted to show my trip as a natural process.Between shots,occur such reactions as freezing, melting, and the constant flow of water(gallons of water recommended in the process of acclimatization also flowed through my body).Water colors show changes of my mood:from excitement(dark blue),impatience(white snow),disappointed(dark green) that according to weather we couldn’t achieve Base Camp to acceptance (light blue).Different states, colors of water are like variety of Tibetan culture.Water still exists, like Tibetans beliefs and it’s hard to move a river.Water move, nature move all the time.Tibet never will be exactly the same like from my pics.Where is now this water from every of my photos?Tourists are also like a huge wave of water that visits Tibet- takes in depths many memories,but throws sthg ashore,so their trace is visible in Lhasa.Water access and deficit of drinkable water are important issues,Tibetans culture and beliefs also should be care about, cause it’s hard to imagine that such variety of culture can disappear.This bridge at the last pic shows that beauty of nature consolidates river banks of Tibetan flowing river.
