Silver, overwhelming silver!
Snow covers almost each inch on the land as high as thousands of meters above the sea level.
The sky looks pure blue against the immense universe.
Mountains lie silently for thousands of years, waiting day after day for patronage of the sunlight.
The photos shown in this article were taken by reporter Kelzang Metok (Tibet.cn) on her train journey back to Lhasa. The captured scenes remind me of the exciting trip last May, my first time to be so close to the "world's roof".
On the same train T27 from Beijing to Lhasa months ago, I was then totally shocked by the grandness of nature at an altitude of above 5,000 meters. But I never regret taking that trip which gave me a completely different view of and feelings about the remote region.
Occasionally nomads' houses were seen nestling along the extending journey. Railway, road, power towers, electric wires ... Everyone going there will be identically impressed to see the trails of our people, in that naturally harsh place.
