His Sweet Ride
September 27, 2006
One of the camp children stands in front of their summer tent home and a pair of our trek horses. Mine is the one with it’s head down – it normally serves this boy’s family, but they graciously lent it to me and my tiny expedition for the 2 days of my trek into the high country. Gansu, China, August 7, 2006.
