18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Sunset Graze
Deep in the Caucasus Mountains, there's a remote village famous for its stone defensive towers. The small village is situated deep in a mountain valley, which eventually deadends in soaring mountain peaks and glaciers. It's a difficult living with harsh winters and little livestock. But, in autumn the entire area goes gold. Here you see resilient cattle braving the steep hillsides to graze almost like mountain goats.
