Porter carrying firewood

1959

A porter walks past a house sitting within terraced rice fields. Squash vines grow and bloom across and up the pile of corn drying near the house. Nepalese porters often carry over 100 pounds of goods from village market to village market. They walk barefoot over rough terrain.
