Tibetan Dragons
A photograph of what appears to be dragons flying in the sky above Tibet has been generating some attention. The photograph was taken over a year ago:On June 22, 2004, the photographer went to Tibet’s Amdo region to attend the Qinghai-to-Xizang Railroad laying ceremony, and then took a plane from Lhasa to fly back inland. When flying over the Himalaya’s, he accidentally caught these two "dragons" in a picture that he took. He called these two objects "the Tibet dragons."
To me the 'dragons' (you can see their 'tails' in the lower left corner of the picture... click the thumbnail to enlarge it) appear to obviously be clouds. Or maybe they're some kind of formation on the ground. But yeah, I can see the resemblance to dragons.

Geez, first "boneheads" and then "idiots". People are getting a little testy about these dragons. I don't know what the hell I'm looking at in the pictures... I may be able to believe it's a dragon when I see a face. The world is a strange place.

Dragons aren't real.
Just thought I'd bring it up.

Reynard, did you mean a Dragon Face, or just any old face? I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place...Tibet? You bet

Hairy Houdini, well... a dragon face is preferable.

looks to me like its a reflection in the aircraft window of a the handle of a piece of luggage. Could be made of wicker to give that effect.

The "dragon tail" is vissible in the bottom left corner hading oust of the pickture, remeber that its an Asian style dragon, not a vestern style dragon (ie large serpent like, like the dragon in "neverending story")
It does look a bit to solid to be a coloud formation thou....

I'm with Mark. These are just two glaciers running into each other. The streaks are just the 'till' -sedimentary detritus churned up by the glacier.
I've written stuff and added photos here:

We all knew the dragons are not real. Now, at first they did look like clouds, but seeing these other images, I can see they're something on the ground instead. I don't really care if the dragons are real, anyway, because all these pictures are nice to look at.

it seemes to me to be a land formation. at least the top one. The bottom one is in a strange position might be as the artical says clouds, but i realy dought it. *shrugs*

HA! I was comparing the river picture, and the tail picture, and they are definetly not the same. first, they come together at the wrong place. Second, the top one tapers of to a point. Sorry to say, these are not solved yet... and the comparing them to several cloud formarions, they are definitly not clouds...

Im not quite sure what it is myself but it looks quite contrated to the rest of the view. My theory is that it was either photshoped or something or that it is a reflection of somthing INSIDE the aircraft

theory is cool.. first thought it was cloud formation but the consistency seemed different to the others. but the frozen river thing is cool.. cuz it does look like a segmented body of a serpent like dragon.
