Description:
Photograph (black and white) from an album; Looking up the Tsangpo river from Chushul, where the tributary of the Kyichu river joins the Tsangpo. The river is flooded and many mud banks are visible dotted along the river. Mountain sides can be see coming right down to the waters edge on the left and right in the middle distance and the sand banks created by the river can be seen rising up the sides of the hills. Mountains are visible in background. The cloud formations are quite distinctive in this image and are gathering together before the late afternoon or early evening rain storms that were typical at this time of year, although Chapman states that the rains were exceptionally heavy in 1936. Chapman took this image from the ruined fort just above the river at Singma Kangchung.
