Day 8 - Lake Yamdrok Tso

At this point in the trip, I was still not aclimated to the altitude. My sinuses were dry as a bone resulting in spontaneous nosebleeds and my head was still pounding from time to time. So, when the day's excursions included a trip to a lake even higher in the mountains, I thought, "What? Is my head going to explode?" Of course, it did not and the views were absolutely gorgeous AND I got this fantastic photo that never should have happened. You see, the man with the yak required that you pay him if you took a picture and I didn't want to do that. So, when he turned, I covertly pulled out my camera and snapped away. I thought the picture would turn out blurry but instead got this fantastic shot.
