Description

Le palais Potala est gigantesque, plusieurs étages et un vrai labyrinthe. Mais les pièces sont petites, sombres, avec des couloirs et et passages étroits, escaliers raides et glissants, interminable. J´ai vu des chinoises, dans le meuilleur style nouveau riche, le faire en robe étroite et haut talons ! Á l´intérieur c´est trés étoufant, claustrophobe, au moins jusqu´à arriver à la terrace sur le toît. Il n´a pas d´air pour respirer et des dizaines, peut être des centaines d´autels avec du beurre d´yak qui brûle comme des bougies. On les trouve partout au Tibet. Même la tsampa, la nourriture locale est fait avec du beurre d´yak. Partout flotte l´oedeur de beurre d´yak. A chaque fois que pense au Tibet, je sens l´odeur de beurre d´yak... The Potala Palace is giant, many levels and a true labyrinth. But the rooms small, dark, with narrow corridors and pass, staircases stiff and slipping, endless. I see Chinese woman, new rich style, visit with tigh dress and shoes with hight heels! The interior is oppressive, claustrophobic, at least to arrive at the terrace on roof. No air to breath and dozens, maybe hundreds of chantrys which burns vases with yak butter like candles. We finds them everywhere in Tibet. Even the tsampa, the ocal food is made with yak butter. Everywhere float the butter yak smell. Everywhere I remember Tibet, I fell the yak butter smell…

I think it is smells that evoke memories more then sounds or pictures. A wonderful photograph, this, giving us more to think about, to integrate with our newfound knowledge of Tibet.

I cannot imagine what this would be like but I want to thank you so much for sharing your experience through photos with us. I can almost conjure up a smell in my imagination...probably nothing like it really is.
