Ladakh

This shot is actually into Tibet. The sunlight coming through broken clouds gave me a perfect second spot of light on a diagonal line to the glacier in the upper right hand corner. I did a fair amount of toning and color tweaking in this one.

Near Lamayuru, our tour leader found a small goat herder village in a small valley with beautiful mountain scenery. We called this Martin's rock.

We spent some time with two families of goat herders near Tso Moriri. We were invited into their tent and the girl was holding her sister. This was a very difficult shot to get as I was wedged in a corner with not much ability to move and there wasn't much light. I later learned that in the winter after this shot was taken, the baby died.

We spent some time with two families of goat herders near Tso Moriri. The girl from the other shot had just wiped (hard) of another sister whose head you can just see in the tent opening. She started to cry and the big sister looked away with a perfect "Who me?" expression.
