This shows part of the alignment for the never built Highway 87 in San Francisco. I am sure there are more maps somewhere, it just does not appear easy to find them.

In the press of the moment I forgot to set the camera's white balance to Tungsten (flash not allowed) so this is a slightly approximate shot at correcting things. The detail in all the paintings on the ceiling was just stunning...
Friday, 3 April 2015: Chhokang Paro (3030 m) to Chhule / Nile (3350 m)
Via Rachen Gompa and Pangdun, under increasingly grey skies.
Lots of mani walls, gompas and chortens as we made our way further up the Tsum Valley and towards the border with Tibet.
Pujas and sweet chai from a friendly nun at Rachen Gompa, across the broadening river valley from one of Milarepa’s many secret caves.
On to the twin-and-rival village of Chhule / Nile via the village of Pangdun, walking on the main trail between fields and dry stone walls.
After lunch in a being-built new lodge at Nile, sheltering from the snow, we crossed back to Chhule where we camped in the grounds of a clinic run by a Tibetan Ani who provides healthcare in this part of the valley.
Chhule boasts two dramatic waterfalls, high above, and, on our visit, the remains of recent avalanches which had destroyed the hydro-electric power system that supplied power to the valley’s villages.
Cold and grey outside, low cloud hiding the Churke and Kipu Himal, so we spent the afternoon playing scrabble in the clinic’s main room, making way to patients tended by the Ani and Val, once the day’s work in the fields was complete.

We went to Bath today and they have a project about pictures of the UK taken from the air. There was a large map of the UK so that people could walk around and explore.
New maps of Sorrow. Digital collage printed to acetate and layered. Nice to place in front of an X-Ray light table!
