Caption: Dzongchen, Sichuan, China - Aug 2003. A Tibetan Khampa woman renders a house wall with yak droppings mixed with clay. Sealing the rammed earth wall, the mortar seals the building from rain. The majority of the remote buildings constructed outside of townships in Eastern Tibet is made traditionally, using local materials. Yet it is a trend that is being rapidly replaced with concrete, tiles and blue glass.
