Farmers in Ladakh

Description

This picture I shot in Likkir/Ladakh - India. This is a typical harvesting scene there. The farmer was actually singing very loud through the whole valley and we came there by following it. He sings for the cattlle which is walking around separating the wheat or barley from the chaff. We sat there and where kindly invited for tea. It was beautiful sitting there just watching and listening.

Behind there is a monastery (called gompa) with a golden Buddha-statue which is approx. 10 meters high where I made this shot little monks in the lama-school (kids learning to be a buddhist monk)

I must say you sure have done your rounds of india.i have loved some of your work but dont think this is one of your best work.If u say u visited ladakh .there is a lot more that u must have shot.The bare terrain and the land of the monks has a lot more to offer.I suggest you should put up more of ladakh if you have any.Waiting to see..............
