Sheep, Afghanistan

In this high, barren valley called Little Pamir, survival depends on livestock. Red-robed Kyrgyz girls corral sheep for milking, while dung dries atop the walls for use as fuel. The sheep, along with goats, yaks, and camels, provide milk, meat, and wool and even serve as currency: One lamb buys 110 pounds of flour.

在贫瘠的帕米尔高原,人们以畜牧业为生。图中,着红色长袍的柯尔克孜族姑娘在羊圈里挤奶,同时把羊群的粪便搁在墙上风干后作家庭燃料。这里的绵羊、山羊、牦牛以及骆驼均可为人们提供鲜奶、肉类、毛料,甚至可作为流通货币:一只小羊羔就可以买到110镑(约50公斤)的面粉。
