Quinghai Lake is in western China and is the largest salt water lake in China. Quinghai means “blue sea” in Tibetan. Quinghai Provence borders on Tibet and is inhabited by Tibetans. It is a beautiful land of open steppes and treeless mountains dotted with bright yellow canola fields, nomad tents and grazing yak.

I think this photo shows how a person might feel when he/she is at a vacation spot. Everything seems brighter, more colorful and the possibility of excitement pervades the atmosphere even in the hinterlands of China.
