Glass Sheep on Shimla Ridge at Golden Hour

by Peter Carey

Warm amber light spills across a wind-carved ridge near Shimla, illuminating a shepherd guiding a flock of sheep along a narrow stone path. The midsummer grass glows green beneath their hooves, while prayer flags flutter against a perfectly clear sky. One sheep stands out as a solid, transparent entity, its wool retaining a natural white tint while the mountain peaks behind it remain visible through its body. The shepherd wears a heavy woven coat, his hands gripping a wooden staff. Shadows stretch long across the dusty ground, ending at the translucent flank of the glass sheep where light refracts through its form without distorting the stone beneath.
