In 2009 we travelled by railroad to Tibet from China. A grand adventure on the Tibetan Plateau.

It is the world’s highest and largest plateau above sea level with an area of 2.500.000 square kilometres. The average elevation is more than 4.500 meters (14800 ft)

I have gone back to look at my old photos from the train – a train that never stopped and only let us take photos from where we sat. All four of us were glued to the windows those few days.

The landscape was breathtakingly beautiful, vast and wild – and I tried to capture it all with my simple, little Canon camera.

I am so grateful to have these memories, and despite the old camera, I will post some more pictures next Thursday as well.
What a beautiful train ride. Thanks for sharing your captures.
Thank you for commenting!
How absolutely wonderful! Do post more
Oh! Please publish lots of photos. This seems such a remote and secret part of the world. You’re one of the very few people I know who’ve visited.
Exciting is probably an understatement…an adventure indeed
Amazing place, wonderful photos.
Looking forward to seeing more.
It looks like a stunning landscape and trip.
The images are in your head. Never mind about the camera xx

What an exciting trip!
Thank you so much for the photos – somehow I had never envisaged the size of the plateau so high! So empty – so far away from the world we know . . .
Fabulous adventure
I can hardly wait for more photos. These are indeed breathtaking!
