The Shepherd’s rest by Michael Gimenez Rodriguez de vera

Hello Everyone! Here is a photo taken at Sunset in the west part of the Caucasus. This place and hike were added to my original itinerary discussing with locals and travelers. It was particularly difficult to get there because I was taking Sunrise shots the same day in another location. The morning location was not close, and I was quite high in the mountains and that made me arrive and start late for this hike. I tried to drive off-road as much as possible, but the track had disappeared through the years, and it became way safer to hike up. I add to rush up to the mountain and my legs did not want to get higher because I had already done a serious hike for sunrise the same morning. Luckily, I arrived just in time for Sunset because I am stubborn as a goat for this kind of things. To get to the place I had to pass an abandoned settlement and, after a few km upward, I arrived at those huts featured in my composition. Those huts were shepherd huts in use some years ago, but they are not anymore. The shepherd used them to get to the pass which lead to the other side of the mountain. I did not get further because it was not my goal and I hike down in the dark after the shooting. The night in the middle of the mountains felt amazing after that! Cheers!
