Good work

Wow! I'm jealous! 👍

Well shown

I wonder how friendly they are to tourists they meet.

It seems there are not so many animals, only two shepherds for a small flock, and not a single dog.

interesting work

Yuri. P, thanks for your attention to the work)))

And Genn, oddly enough, I envy myself too. I'd love to go there again. It's a very interesting place. Russian photographers go there; I went with Eduard Kutygin, for example. This summer, he's retracing the Pamir Highway route again. Thank you!

Well presented.

Marina Fomina, Marisha, thanks for your opinion!

Nikolay Isaakov, Nikolay, they are very friendly and sociable people, despite their stern faces and difficult living conditions. They allow you to take their photos and often smile back.

Lilia Kalantaryan, perhaps the dogs were just running around somewhere – there was an outpost nearby. They probably ran there to visit, which is why we didn't see them. There were a lot of flocks, and we'd already overtaken most of them. Thank you, Lilia, for your comment and opinion.

A truly impressive and vibrant photo, Vera! And beautifully shot! We lived in Fergana, Uzbekistan, for three years for work, and we'd travel to the mountains and spend the night near mountain rivers, but that was so long ago that all we have left are slides; we didn't save the black-and-white films.

Tamara Mar, I'm glad the photo was mentioned in your memoirs. By the way, slides can be converted to electronic format. Technology now allows for this.
