This photo focused on vendors outside the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. Many people objected to building the Qinghai-Tibet railway as they thought the railway would change the characteristics of the holy city.

This photo is part of a series taken during July 2006, before the railway went into operation, in an attempt to prove that opinion and to search for other possible causes of the changes in Lhasa.
