Right as it started to snow again the sun was still barely peaking out illuminating this larch as snow flakes flew up at us from the lake. #wawx

Here is a slice from a larch tree that died beneath an advancing glacier 4,213 years b2k! 🧊🌲💍 You can buy a copy (accompanied by a dendrochronological dating certificate) here: wemakeit.com/projects/glacie… and, in doing so, help me to continue this research! 🙏

His home is in a remote Peruvian village with a beautiful view of the Andes and he looks out at it lying on the roof and soaking up the mountain sun. He is a folk legend who tricks pumas into believing he's their spawn and rides the mountain spine on their shoulders. Life's good.

Love this photograph. Very Andean. Only Mount Kailash gives it away. Photographer unknown.

Gaddi family
Another braided hairstyle worn by men of the Gaddi tribe. Here, the "darat" represents Kelang Wazir who used to be worshipped exactly like a shiva and in the wilderness during the herding time they were worshipped in the form of this sickle.
