21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Summer pasture

This is a plateau pasture where a family grazes hundreds of cattle and sheep. Their simple tents serve as their dwellings, while homemade swings bring joy to the children. As September arrives, the family undertakes the seasonal migration of their livestock. It marks the time when the children descend the mountains to attend school.
