A woman stands arms outstretched on a rocky outcrop in a high-altitude valley, smiling broadly. She wears a black jacket and dark trousers, a maroon knit cap, maroon gloves, hiking boots, and an orange shawl draped over her shoulders, with a small turquoise bag across her body. Below her, green terraced fields fill the valley floor beside a cluster of whitewashed stone houses, with a dirt track winding through barren brown mountains under low cloud.
