Young Shepherd Leading Goats Near Summit Cairn

by Marie Hickman

Orange low-angle sunlight washes over a rugged mountain pass beside a stone cairn near Thimphu, illuminating the dust kicked up by four brown goats. A young shepherd in a dark wool coat guides the herd across loose scree and sparse dry grass, his figure small against the vast sky. Dramatic clouds stack high above the tree line, their undersides glowing with the last warmth of the day. The terrain slopes gently downward, revealing layers of grey rock and patches of withered vegetation. Shadows stretch long and sharp across the ground, ending at the rough edge of the nearest boulder where the goat's hooves rest.
