An ethnic Tibetan woman rises after kneeling to pray to holy Meili Snow Mountain.
Perhaps it's Hollywood's pro-Tibetan influence or perhaps I'm just partial to Asian women. But when Tibetan women are done up, they're absolutely breathtaking (see previous posts here and here). Add to that, a spiritualism and lifestyle that's unparalleled in most other cultures and we begin to reach defcon 4: obsession phase. Maybe Richard Gere's onto something after all... and I'm not referring to the gerbils.

Like clockwork, the Tibetans piously pray to Meili Snow Mountain each morning. For most of my stay in Deqin, the holy mountain was covered by a rolling layer of thick clouds.

Snow-capped, Meili Snow Mountain is visible across a deep valley as prayer flags flap around a Buddhist chorten.
The last day of my three day stay in Deqin, the holy mountain decided to peak itself out of the clouds. Though I wouldn't know it until later, seeing the mountain may have been an auspicious sign for my illegal week-long journey through Tibet (without a permit) that began after I left Deqin.
