Colourful Buildings part 1

Exploring the surrounding area and immersing myself in pure Tibetan culture has been a long favourite part of travel for me. As the sun shines down, the vibrant colours of the brilliant reds radiate a warmth throughout the vicinity. Red is a powerful colour, in some cultures it signifies strength. For others it might be seen as a warning or something related to danger. In China we hold red as an auspicious colour that will bring us luck and fortune. In Tibet the red gives off a warm and positive vibe. The various pillars and roof tops all assume the same hue that I came accustomed to throughout my stay here.

The lower parts of the buildings were made of stones and a white binding material. The almost collage like structure creates a complexion that is filled with various shapes and colours. The cream finishing is a direct contrast against the red roofing.
