Gulmit, North Pakistan, where my beloved adopted family lives. In autumn. The landscape is formed by, and built into, the rugged, jagged mountains. In these narrow river valleys between towering peaks, generations have fought to create as much usable flat areas of land. The best..for cultivation, thé more undulating and rocky, for livestock. The animals are taken to high altitude alpine pastures at 4000+ meters for summer, and brought back down for autumn/ winter.

Happy peaceful Friday, and wishing a weekend of lovely photo ops…and some kind weather.
