A photograph of a wide valley in the Himalayan foothills, with a pale grey braided river curving through a stony bed in the centre. Steep forested slopes of pine and deciduous trees rise on the left, and distant green mountains fill the background under a bright sky. Several low concrete buildings and a long stone retaining wall sit beside the river, with terraced fields and small village houses spread across the far valley floor. Orange wildflowers and grass line the near bank in the foreground. No people are visible.
