Greater Tibet: Where Earth Touches the Heavens travels beyond the Tibetan Autonomous Region to reveal the lessseen faces and places of Qinghai, northern Yunnan, Gansu and western Sichuan. Photographer Jimmy Lam braves hardy terrain and weather to capture the atmosphere of a land that is newly opened to the rest of the world. Lam's untiring fascination with Greater Tibet has taken him many times to various parts of the Tibet region. He has developed a keen sensitivity towards the seasons of Tibetan nature and culture. In this beautiful album, Lam shares his personal perspective on the landscapes of Greater Tibet, its peoples and their beliefs and way of life.
