G,day cobbers,

Here is a couple more of my China pics. The first one is an old man in Kunming. He is wearing a Mao suit that only a few old dudes wear nowadays, in the seventies everyone had to wear it like a uniform. the second shot is an old Tibetan woman near the holy mountain of Kawa karpo.

The Tibetan plateau is very high altitude ( it was almost 4000m where I was) and the sun is very strong, lots of UV. These people also lead fairly hard lives so it accounts for their leathery skin.
