This is the highest point in my climb up the Potala Palace where photos were allowed. You can see the crowd lining up to enter the main quarters of the palace. If the Dalai Lama were not in exile, this is where he would reside. The interior of the palace was as impressive as anything I've seen in Europe even more so since it is not a historic building. It is as alive and vibrant today as the day it was built. While fairly apolitical when it comes to internal Chinese polictics, I kept thinking, "The Dalai Lama needs to be here."
