Huangshan (Yellow Mountains), Anhui Province, China.

The moon at Jiayuguan Pass, China.

The climate of the desert state of Rajasthan, India is hot and dry and the main form of transportation is by camel. I was traveling through on a camel safari when we stopped, late in the afternoon, at a small village. A young woman with a golden bowl balanced on her head came out of an old house near where the camels had been tied. The light was warm and I motioned with my camera. She took the bowl off her head and let me take one frane before she disappeared back into her house. - Kraig Lieb, 1989.
