Images from Lhasa, Tibet - China

A lone yak stands on the shores of Yamdrok Lake in Tibet. Adorned in colorful attire and decorations, its owner charges tourists to pose for photos with it. Nestled in at over 4,400m above sea level, the turqoise freshwater lake glistens, surrounded by rolling grasslands and snow-capped mountains. The climate is changing here however as temperatures are rising, altering the highland grasslands and the fragile ecosystems on the 'roof of the world'.
