“Domesticated”: unwild animals (#2 in series: ploughing)

This series’ first image showed an aspect of human and animal life from circa 1,600 years ago.

This chapter’s images show an aspect of human and animal life, as still lived in some places, right now.

Had I access to Dr Who’s Tardis, I could probably have taken essentially the same photographs in the same Himalayan valley, at the same time of year, in any of the last several thousand years!

Ironically, this particular, “timeless/ancient” combination of “peasant farmers + farm animals” accidentally yielded what looked very much like a pleasing example of 20th or 21st century abstract art.
