During my road trip to Leh in Ladakh, India, my eyes caught this beautiful lake, and an old women herding her yaks along the lake side.
By the time I asked the driver to stop and got out of the car, her herd had already moved toward the other side of the lake, I could not run, or even walk briskly due to the low level of oxygen at this high altitude in the Himalayas, so I shot the distant yaks with reflections of the snow capped peaks in the background.
This was shot on June 8th.
