"I follow all that happens in Tibet with the deepest interest, for part of my being is indissolubly linked with that dear country. My heartfelt wish is...to...create some understanding for a people whose will to live in peace and freedom has won so little sympathy from the rest of the world."
Heinrich Harrer, "Seven Years in Tibet"

Heinrich Harrer's Tibet Photo-Shoots from the early 1980's

Heinrich Harrer, author of Seven Years in Tibet and famed mountaineer, returned to Tibet in the 1980's to witness the destruction that Mao's cultural revolution had perpetrated on this land of a rich and glorious tradition and culture. A keen photographer, he however captured, what still remained of this vast land on the roof of our planet. Its awsome natural landscape scenes. This being one of them.
