In the footsteps of Joseph Rock.
A blogger revisits some of the places first brought to Western notice by famed anthropologist and botanist Joseph Rock in the early 20th century.
Many more of Rock's photos of landscape and life in what were predominatly Tibetan-inhabited areas here. First link via danwei.org

Grand pictures, and the text is most interesting, too. The before and after shots do show the passage of time all too well! Can't help but wonder what will become of the Tibetan people as more and more Chinese and foreigners stream into what was once an isolated country. ))), and thanks, Abiezer_Coppe!!!
