HFF from Shimshal

HFF from Shimshal
The village at 3500 meters in the High Pamirs, near the China border in Pakistan.
The village at the end of the road I posted a video of. It is a land of rock and snow melt.
It is shut off during winter with temperatures around -40C. The hardy villagers grow wheat and potatoes, apricots, stone fruits and walnuts. They raise sheep, cattle and yaks, which spend the summer in the much higher Pamir pastures several days from the village. In winter there is danger from bears, snow leopards and wolves.

Have a super Friday and a most agreeable weekend

Une superbe et excellente capture de ce village qui semble plus ou moins démuni et où le contraste des températures est plutôt insupportable.
Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces informations
Bonne et agréable journée salutaire.

A wonderful "detail" shot Diana............I really like the shapes and textures in the walls and path, and the mountains look beautiful in the sunshine. The splash of colour from the tree and the gate are just lovely. An excellent capture. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a super weekend.

What a hard life for these mountain people, and the tree with green leaves seems almost incongruous in this stony landscape! HFF Diana.
