In the very high altitude mountain communities of remote Baltistan near the border with India, autumn brings time to collect and store commodities for the bitterly cold, long winters, with temperatures reaching -40°C. Women climb about the rocky, steep hillsides searching for winter stores of wood, their only fuel.
It is backbreaking work that they perform day after day…as well as the cooking, laundry, home chores etc.

Hope your weekend is fabulous. I am back on deck again after a minor stint of surgery.

Peace and love…Diana
