Summer II

Starting in 1755, the Dalai Lamas would decamp from the Potala Palace to summer in the nearby park of Norbulingka Palace.
  Visiting in autumn gave everything a hushed, haunted feeling. This boarded out building almost looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie.
Gaunt, leafless trees receding into the distance.  This building, with the silent water fountain out front, was intended for the 14th Dalai Lama.  It remains unchanged from how it was when he went into exile in 1959, as if frozen in amber.
