The stories I heard as a child of long journeys my mother as small children, her brothers and sisters undertook, travelling on baskets either side of mules through mountains, fertile valleys, high altitude planes and multi coloured lakes, on narrow paths, through wind swept canyons so windy that often the pack mules would be pushed to the precipice below.
These childhood images have stayed with me and I have travelled in my imaginations with the images in this collection.
