Happy Stone Fence Friday

Happy  Stone Fence Friday
From the remote Baltistan village of Machlu in the Hushe Valley on the treacherous dirt road to K2 trek start point. A very conservative area of remote Baltistan, but friendly and welcoming to polite visitors. Many Western mountaineers come up along here to climb K2 or one of the other multitude of 7-8000m plus peaks in this region. . But it is much quieter and less mountaineered than Nepal or Everest. A few die up here on the peaks each year.
The stone walls are their fencing here as timber is in short supply. These are poor subsistence farming villages.
Have a fab Friday and a spectacular photographic weekend!

Hi Diana
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, great colours too.
Hard to comprehend the modern looking houses with the backdrop of the mountains!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

This is, undoubtedly, a "spectacular photographic weekend", dear Diana !
A wonderful view, with the village nestled between the mountains and vegetation.
Nice Sunday
