HFF

At 4000 meters in the Karakoram Range, close to the Afghan border in Chipurson. This fence and gate merely mark land division….it certainly does not keep out the snow leopards and wolves which predate on stock. At the end ..left side..of the wall is a precipitous drop of about 500m into a raging glacial river which has deeply etched this huge chasm. It is very remote and wild territory. The gate closes across the narrow 4WD road if it needs closing off after landslides, earthquakes or flooding, which frequently affect these unstable hillsides.

Wishing you all the very, very best for 2024. I hope it brings you health and good fortune.
Happy New Year. ❤️

Through your photos I visit lands and places that are the only travelling temptation I would have now... but too far and too hazardous for a lonely old lady...
Would love it there, your photo is another amazing one ***********************
HFF Diana, big hugs from my not so wild south

In this very deserted area you certainly don't expect to find a gate, but you explained its symbolic value to us.
