22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A woman looks out on the Neelam River in Kashmir

This photo shows a village woman sitting by the river, still as the rocks she is surrounded by. She sits there for hours on end, beside the river she has lived beside her whole life. It is the border that separates her from people on the other side, exactly the same but in a whole different country. It is impossible to deduce what she may be thinking about.
