In the mean time

As you have already gathered, the last three weeks have been insane.  If you aren't aware of why, go here and read the whole thing (or check out what The Digital Trekker has to say).  Nonetheless, it's always theroputic to run out on the street during the busy days and snap a few shots around town as stress relief.

Some of my favorites below were taken right outside our office here.  The complex we office out of is predominantly people from Yushu.  Because of the earthquake, the butter candles were lit every single night, which made for a photo opportunity that even someone sleep depraved as myself couldn't miss.
