Continuing at Norbulinkga, here are a couple of photos of the Japanese style stonework on the walls, steps and walkways. As rock is the building material of choice because of it's abundance, it is used everywhere.
This Tibetan woman works to keep the paths clean from leaf and flower debris. She earns her living as a caretaker at the institute and was pleased yet shy about allowing me to take her photo.
My 1:00 p.m. class is starting soon, so I will sign off for now and hopefully, if the gods be with us, be able to post again later. Due to non-stop rain, it is often difficult to get or keep connections. De mo she (goodbye!).
