People and animal

Under the wide blue sky,a smallgroup of shepherds walk along a dusty road,their colourful clothes,fluttering in thr breeze like human flag,turning an ordinary journey in to a vibrant parade of rural life, A child skipping alone ladies guiding the herd, For the shepherds these animals are more tha a livelihood,they are companions, resposibilities,and the heartbeat of their days Photograph captures freedom ,community and the timeless bond between people,animal andthe land they walk upon
