Herdsmen

The fog came in suddenly as I prepared to take this photograph. The herdsmen hurried to chase their livestock down the mountain before it would become too unclear to see.

I took this picture on Huka Mountain which is 3380 meters above sea level. It is a holy mountain. Because many car accidents have happened here, people set up a lot of prayer flags.
