The picture was shot on China's Tibetan Plateau at an elevation above 4100m / 13450ft, at Yading village which is believed to be the "Shangri-La" which Joseph Rock discovered in 1928. We waited in the cold wind, breathing thin air beside the Pearl Lake, until night fell and a magnificent sea of stars burst out above the snowy mountains and dark clouds.
