A Year in Tibet - Episode Three

Here is the third of five episodes on the wonderful documentary, A Year in Tibet. I trust you've all enjoyed the first and second episodes recently posted on here.
It's winter time in Gyantse, New Years day preparations at the monestary and poor "Osa" is seriously ill and his family fear for this life.

Again, this episode is split into six 10 minute segments for easy viewing. Check "Latest blog posts" to view the first and second episode. Happy viewing.

I will upload the rest of the episodes in due course - check back soon!

...and the winner is....

After some research and some much needed advice I am now the owner of the Canon 24-70mm f2.8L Lens.
Finally I got hold of a virtually brand new lens, in absolute mint condition all for the very resonable price of £550. Cheap in comparsion the the listed price of just under £900 and the average Ebay price of £650.

To finance (in part) the cost of the new lens I've parted company with my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens.
