Tibet
I have never actually been to Tibet, but I flew around
it in between Frankfort and Hong Kong in July, 1999. The picture is
not very clear since we were close to the Gobi Desert and the air was quite
hazy. However, the mountains were out there and could be seen far
better by eye than the camera recorded. Interestingly, the Chinese
government does not allow flying over Tibet, so the flight was much, much
longer than it needed to be.

we flew just north of Tibet. Look carefully for mountains in
the full picture in the haze. |
