I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

More walking around Tibetan villages...
I'm not sure about this depiction. The three heads is similar to that found on the kila daggers and other objects that ward off evil spirits. In the center is the "Ohm" symbol.
Everything is hand painted.
This is a restaurant. Notice the rack of bronze prayer wheels to the left. Just below the wheels are arrows indicating the clockwise directions one should take when spinning the wheels. Spinning a payer wheel, which is engraved with a sutra, is the equivalent of reciting that sutra.

This is the very top of a Mani Pile that is about my height. Mani stones are stones inscribed or painted with small sutras/mantras. Passers by will leave a stone on the mani pile, which is the equivalent of reciting that sutra. Some piles, particularly the ones alongside roads, often grow miles in length. Piles are often wrapped in prayer flags and topped with Yak skulls, which helps the Yak's souls reach heaven.
Joni stops at this Cafe to check her makeup. Need to look your best when hiking in the mountains.

Hand-carved, hand-painted woodwork on all the homes. Where do they get the bright colors? Traditionally, from stone minerals, trade (southwest china is along the silk road), and local fungi.
