All in a day’s work. HFF
Hushe Valley, Baltistan. On the track out to K2 in the Karakoram. Women bringing home the day’s grass harvest for the animals, or for drying and storage for the long, severe winters here. This remote valley provides access for mountaineers from around the world to begin their ascent treks into several of the mountain giants of the region over 8000m, including K2, Gasherbrum, Broad Peak, Masherbrum , the Baltoro Glacier …etc

Have a fabulous weekend…at our side of the planet, keep warm and dry, on the other..,keep cool and hydrated.

I had to open this one which looked so strange in the thumbnail. I now see that strangely coloured vegetables are actually people.
There is no need to wish us to keep cool and hydrated here in the UK, Diana. We have had a surfeit of rain this month and little sunshine, and the temperature is cool but bearable for a (once) redhead.

Portugal is escaping, temperatures are even lower than usual at this time of year, the Azores anticyclon is the responsible for our welbeing comparaing to South Spain which is more influenced by the Mediterranean.
Love your photo, all is perfect there, could be published in Nat Geo magazine...

A colourful and interesting image Diana. It must be quite a hard life I would imagine. I wonder just how many times these women have made the same journey. I love the way you have captured them from behind, showing the extent of their load and the baskets they carry it in.

HFF and have a lovely weekend
