Life at Namtso Lake

The shore of mystical Namtso Lake


Two women appear in the distance…



Carrying a green bundle they casually walk onto the frozen lake.

One carves a hole in the ice, the other unfolds the bundle...


The bundle is spreads on the frozen surface...


With brush and detergent they get ready to scrub…


Louis tests the ice...


Getting water from the hole in the ice they scrub and rinse…


A moment of rest...


Scrub… Scrub… Scrub…


A third lady joins for a rinse…


Suddenly and silently two more females approach...


Rubbing shoulders they walk past Kim and Louis...


...and float across the frozen lake…
