I enjoyed the pix. One of my favorites, simply as a foto, was of the steps up the Potala Palace. I also enjoyed the fotos of rugged, ruddy-cheeked Tibetans. But I was expecting to see more people on the streets in Lhasa. I'll remember the "Chinglish" sign from Chengdu as a great general guide for all travel: Slip Carefully!
