It's 'red week'at the Potala.

We had the good fortune of visiting Lhasa during national week. Many Chinese tourists came to Lhasa to visit. We became lost in the action and soon found ourselves dressed and photographed by many of the Tibetens and Chinese observers. The Potala is in the background adourned in red banners and flags possibly to signify the 'liberation' of the Tibeten people. Just in front of us, but not in the picture is a monument to the armed forces. I call it red square. Many towns in Tibet have these monuments. Not so many people gather near the monument as in the other side of the park. Makes me wonder.
