Birch Forest And Herdsman. Located In The Northern Part Of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Near China's Borders At Mongolia, Russia And Kazakhstan, Hemu Is A Village Inhabited By Several Hundred Families Descended From Nomadic Mongols, Kazakhs, And Tuvas. In October 2007, I Stayed There For 3 Days To Photograph Around The Village With Other 20+ Photo-Pros. It Was A Cloudy Afternoon. Some Sheep & Horses Were Browsing At The Foot Of A Hill Covered By Silver Birch. The Herderman Was Riding On A Horse & Passing Though My Camera's Viewfinder.
