Last sunrays
Spiti, Himachal, India
A river and a ledge or hillside safe from avalanches and rock slides and you're set to build a house or a hamlet as seen in the distance here.
This river is mellow now, but will become a raging torrent in flash floods that will change the landscape. I came across destroyed bridges with steel girders bent like they were made of rubber and enormous boulders that have come down the mountain sides or been pushed downriver by the cataclysmic forces of a flash flood.
With in-depth knowledge from generations of experiencing normal and extreme conditions, people know where it is safe to build a home.
It might not be the most convenient of locations - but it is a choice of safe or sorry!
Now in January the temperatures are plummeting as the sky is clear but the sun is barely reaching above the mountains - without any strength to thaw. The river seen flowing here is frozen, and all water must be carried as ice blocks up the hills to the houses - everything takes longer now.

Life on a ledge
Spiti, Himachal, India
Follow a river and you are bound to find a house or a hamlet. In remote and arid Spiti of western Himalaya a side valley might seem like a gateway to a land where no one can live, yet time and time again you’ll be surprised to find a building high up on a ledge.
What appears to be a desolate mountain with steep and impassable slopes could be home to an individual, a family or several families. These white buildings serve as a point of reference and truly make you understand the scale of things and the challenges life here is.
In winter the white houses are not as easy to see against the white snow, and the trails and roads are barely discernable. Only a local will find the way in a white-out land.
Recent winters have been very hard to humans and wildlife alike as the amount of snow has been very much more than normal, and resulted in the deaths of many, many wild sheep and goats.
I can only imagine how hard it must be to walk up and down the trails to this hamlet in snow and ice. It looks so beautiful and pittoresque in an autumn-clad landscape, but with snow and avalanches coming down many of these mountain slopes, the winters are hard and cold, but the people of the Himalayas and Spiti are prepared as they have lived here for generations.
