Shepherd Leads Goats Past Cairn Near Kathmandu

by Devon Hopkins

Bright afternoon light illuminates a high mountain pass near Kathmandu, where a young shepherd in a red tunic walks beside a small herd of goats. The animals move across a scree slope scattered with grey stones, their curved horns catching the sun. A traditional stone cairn rises to the right, its stacked rocks weathered by wind. Low-hanging clouds drift just above the ridge, casting soft shadows across dry grass and rocky ground. One goat pauses to nibble a tuft of late spring greenery near the base of the cairn. The vast sky stretches overhead, framing the figures against the pale horizon. A shadow from a cloud falls across the shepherd's shoulder.
