17 years ago, this quiet moment was captured in the remote village of Yalbang, Humla, a place where time slows down and stories live on through silence.
The shepherd in this photo, his back turned to the world, stood at the edge of a season, guiding his sheep across Himalayan trails older than memory. He’d walk these hills long before dawn, with only the rhythm of bells and the whisper of wind for company. People rarely saw him in the village, he lived between clouds and cliffs, carrying generations of wisdom in his stillness.
This photo, frozen in time, reminds us that even the most ordinary silhouettes can hold the soul of a place.
