Women, young and old

The younger women are street vendors selling mostly prayer beads and other jewelry. Like most people in Lhasa they wear a hat and a face mask to protect them from the sun. The long skirts are typical, and the striped apron indicates the woman is married.

The old women are from eastern Tibet and came into town for a religious festival. Although, a couple of them have grey hair, I have yet to see anyone as white haired as myself, and I get lots of stares. As the guide said, I am a celebrity!
