No one takes photos of David like Jennifer Barry! She can really capture the joy, the intensity, the exuberance of the live performance. She has some fresh new photos of the Las Vegas and Seattle shows. To view them, go to Jennifer Barry photos.
Enjoy! And thanks Jennifer, for sharing these with the fans!
Breathtaking as usual. Jennifer knows just when to click. Of course, she has the best and most beautiful subject! WOW!
Thank you TDC/dfLIZ, and Jennifer for the beautiful beautiful photos! My soul is soothed…
Thanks dfLIZ for one of the most enchanting photo of David above. I am comforted wtih the sight of David (albeit its only the pics). Had been away from my home and coumputer for a while, including spending three weeks from Urumgi, then Kashgar to Lhasa in Tibet under very harsh, tough and trying conditions by Land Cruiser (average 4500 metres above sea level). I thought of him every so often, including him in my prayers like he is part of my family during my endeavours to climb the sacred mountains, walk the heaven’s lake and when raising the prayer flags. I could not help feeling strange, I just couldn’t get him out of my mind, smiling to myself with the thought of him even though I was feeling really really sick and lousy! I am glad I am back and TDC was my first stop!
And hello to all!
PuterDi: Sounds like an amazing trip. So interesting how David can stay stuck in our minds like a family member might.
Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer -- you feed my eyes and in turn, my soul. Sigh.
PuteriDi -- wow, your trip sounds awesome. I know you said it was under trying conditions but it sounds so exotic. Hope you don’t mind me asking, is it part of your work?
Hi JR, its not work. I happened to be very fascinated with Tibet. It is my third trip to Tibet in three years and each time I tried a different route to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. The recent one was via the west part of Tibet(Xingziang-better known as the Silk Road)was the most challenging and trying. The four days we spent in Xingziang enroute to Tibet was a bit discouraging and in fact seven out of eight of us tourists wanted to turn back and take the next flight home (we had 3 drivers for the three jeeps and one guide). Fortunately we did not, otherwise we would have been caught in the riot in Urumgi. When we crossed over to Tibet things seemed to run smoothly except the very harsh conditions, namely the unpaved road, the harsh UV rays and the extreme high altitude (some as high as 5300 metres above sea-level). And it was freezing cold and windy in the night and most lodgings are without toilets so imagine in the night when nature calls!!! This western part of Tibet is more primitive and the poorest live here. We went deep into the mountains to distribute used cloths, dry food to the people living in tents and visited a school situated in no-man’s land. As an urbanite, I wondered how people could live in that sort of conditions but the Tibetan are very cheerful people, they always have a smile on their face.
The landscape of Tibet is out of this world, its the most awesome I have seen. For this trip we went to a place that is little known to the world, a place called “Kuga” Kingdom. It took us quite a while (I did not clock the time) to access this place. The place is massive and awesome. We were told it was once occupied by a civilization that disappeared without a trace. Its quite similar to Machupichu in Peru, South America.
Another interesting discovery was the Hindu from India travel all the way to this western part of Tibet to climb Mt Kailash (I climbed up too) as a form of pilgrimage and they bathe in a holy lake not very far away like they do in River Ganges. Hope people will be self-regulated and keep this Lake clean.
So long for now JR. Just to let you know I always enjoy your contributions.
