Happy Friday. Have been super busy. Will get to visit you on Sunday evening! Finally, sorry.
This is at 4000 meters altitude on the remote road into the Chipurson Valley, alongside the Afghan Wakhan Cirridor. For some reason…I think as a remote village land demarcation, we came upon this gate and stone fence. It certainly would not keep out the snow leopards! The day after we passed through the relative of our dear friend lost livestock right here to snow leopard predation. This is wild, remote and exhilarating country.

Have a weekend which brings happiness doing what you wish to do, in a place you wish to be..in health and peace.

Une belle et grande aventure que vous êtes en train de traverser. J'imagine les instants forts que vous ressentez c'est vraiment magnifique pour moi. Se trouver dans un endroit presque perdu où des léopards de neige trouvent aussi refuge,c'est vraiment sensationnelle.
HFF et agréable fin de semaine clémente et salutaire.

The sheer scale and the vastness of this sparsely vegetated landscape takes my breath away every time I see these superb images of yours Diana.

Oustanding mountainous panorama. Snow tigers to top off the harshness of the landscape and climate. To tell the truth, in my land the wolves are also attacking livestock hard. There are also bears but they have a preference for orchards.
