Kirghiz Shepherds

[Jim Dockery]

These friendly young men met me while I was hiking above our base camp on a climb into the Tien Shan mountains. They invited me to their yurt where I watched their mother make bread over a fire. They shared some with me, then I bought a loaf to bring back to my friends. I got their town address and sent them a set of prints, but never heard back if they got them. One of my best travel memories.
