This year, it took 16 yaks and 23 days to trek up and down the Afghan Pamir mountains - and reach the end of the Wakhan Corridor and the China border. Abdul Rashid Khan (whom I first met in 2005), the last leader of the Afghan Kyrgyz, passed away last December 2009, quietly in his yurt. We visited a community adrift, struggling in selecting a new Khan.
Below is a sneak preview, the full story is up on my website, under Stories > The Last Khan - presentation text will be up there soon....

Your pictures are remarkable.
I am especially fond of the goat pictures -- the origins of the cashmere goat are in those pictures!
(Flag Gazer raises goats and spins the wool for yarn. She should be the first customer for any photos with goats! But I like them too!).
Hi - yes, white goat shots is always a pleasing sight... cheers, Matthieu
Wow. What amazing pictures. Seeing them brought only one thought to mind: the world is such a wonderful, amazing, and diverse place.
