A photograph of a barren, rocky mountain landscape under low grey cloud. In the foreground a single person in an orange-saffron wrap and dark clothing sits hunched on a stony slope, head bowed, with a red cloth over the head. Behind, a braided grey glacial moraine and a wide pale rocky riverbed lead toward a misty ridge. The scene evokes the high Himalayan approach to Gomukh, the glacier source of the Ganges.
