Photographer's Note
Au Cachemire, la route qui conduit de Srinagar à Kargil longe de près la frontière pakistanaise, sur les tracés des anciennes routes de la soie.
Même si la soie emprunte à present les voies aériennes, on voit encore sur ces routes beaucoup de nomades conduisant leurs troupeaux de chèvres, de moutons ou de chevaux
In Kashmir, the road from Srinagar to Kargil skirts the pakistanese border, on the traces of old silk roads
.
Even if silk is now transported by air, one still meet there many nomads leading their herds of goats, sheep or horses

Great journalistic inspired photograph. The goats give you a sense of the people and their work and the imposing mountains give you a sense of place. Very well executed.

Bonjour Patrick,
Je ne sais pas quelle chose admirer de plus! les moutons ou le paysage et les montagnes. La combination est fantastique, la lumière semble caresser les choses, la netteté très bonne. Je sens de la paix en contemplant cette image!!! Jolie! Merci.

Hello Patrick - The colours of the goats mimic the landscape and I love the natural, earthy colours of both. The nomadic lifestyle is always so tenuous and in this environment the scoured hillside look all but barren. Quite amazing how people manage to secure enough food to live off. A great DL shot in a place few of us will see.

Bonjour Patick
Great capture that gives with the help if your interesting note, an idea of life in Cachemira
Like the soft color of the crevres with the green turban of the shepherd as the only difference
Bon travail

Bonjour Patrick,
L'Inde est un pays fascinant et qui m'a intrigué et je voudrais bien revenir et de voir le nord, où les plus belles vallées.
Une très belle image avec le bétail le long de leur chemin à travers cette vallée désertique.
Excellente profondeur, la couleur et la dynamique.
Amitiés,
Charo

Hello dear Patrick,
Nice capture from Kargil. Well seen and composed.
In our country it's not often that sheep and goaths share the same herd.
Nice background with soft slopes. Overall not a capture with bright eyecatching colors but still quite effectfull.
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

very lifelike productions patrick, there is a tendency to go overboard with the photos and pp when it is about ladakh, but thanks for keeping it real, do you hire a car and drive, how do get about these tours, am sure this is not possible with a group..

Bonjour Patrick,
une bonne prise de l'intérieur du troupeau, accompagné par les chèvres et les agneaux, au milieu d'un paysage sauvage impressionnant.
J'aime le grande V formée par la vallée, et les hautes montagnes qui portent nos yeux vers le ciel.
La douceur de la lumière et des couleurs donne une haute qualité à la composition.
Un beau travail.
Amicalement,
Josep

Hello Patrick,
This is a nice and interesting photo because of its management of light and space. In spite of the action happening on the very foreground our eyes are led to watch the depth and beauty of the rocky hills as they open up to the sky. I admire the excellent sharpness and clear cupturing of movement of animals on the ground and clouds in the sky and the intervals of light that has escaped through the clouds shining briefly on the rocks. Thank you for showing us this place!
Best regards

Hi Patrick
Beautiful and amazing capture when you are amongst this flock and beautiful sky too. I like everything about this; the comp, the tones the real life situation at high altitude and atmospehere it evokes, and the most attractive is the pov and 'feel' of being there at the right time. The backdrop view is fantastic and those barren mountains with patches of grass in mid fg. Those partly hidden herders are superb inclusion as good reference. Beautiful scene. Well seen and taken.
Best regards

Hello Patrick,
They say the wool from this area is of a particular quality..!
And I can see a couple of sheep in that herd...
The lack of colours is remarkable in this hostile landscape, hopefully the animals will find some grass hehehe..!
A fine documentary indeed, a well balanced composition with good details...
Greetings,

Yes, thanks to you we are immersed almost in the middle of this wonderful herd of goats. They look friendly enough! We can see the nomad herders in the background. Wonderful! Warm regards,

Hi Patrick!
I also like this one, not just because of the amazing landscape we see in background, but also because of the flock here that got the main role in this photo. A very nice composition and a good daily scene!

Hi Patrick!
I am really interested in this silk road thing. A nice post to remember the old traces of a once important part of the earth's civilization. The composition is just great, the mountains are simply grandiose and the lighting is well handled. Well captured! I wonder if this was a tourist destination or you just had the leisure of stopping by this area. Interesting!
best regards,
Matt
