Nomadic goatherd outside of Lo Manthang, Mustang. The Kingdom of Lo is in the rainshadow of the Himalaya, therefore the climate is quite harsh and dry. There is not enough edible vegetation in a given area to sustain a flock, so herders must constantly move in search of fresh pasture. (Rick Green photo.)

All the parts washed and ready to spray. Or, most of the parts, the headcap, wrist balls, and ankle balls are absent because, as a general rule, I don't blush them, so there's no need for me to keep them out with everything else. Purity Seal doesn't discolor at all, so there shouldn't be any difference in appearance, but I may give them a quick wash and spray right at the end anyway.

Elk like to roam on the lawns of Mammoth since Kentucky Bluegrass is such a high commodity. Considering this is a rainshadow and bluegrass is not native to the area, the elk are always in for a treat. The lawn is maintained for the historical purposes of Fort Yellowstone.

View over Lo Manthang, capital of the Land of the King of the South, from the palace rooftop. This medieval fort-city lies in an isolated valley in the middle of the Fertile Plain of Medicinal Herbs. Precious firewood (because there are few trees in this region in the rainshadow of the Himalaya) and fodder for animals are stored on the rooftops. (Rick Green photo.)

Took a few last shots of her blank before I took her apart; when I get her back together, she'll be faceupped, blushed, and hopefully will have her wig done. If I'm super ambitious, I might even make her another dress, but we'll see.

Perhaps in deeper soils or substrates with greater water-holding capacity and definitely where more disturbance-prone, mountain big sagebrush predominates in Grand Teton National Park. This view from Signal Mountain looks across the eastern slope in the rainshadow of the Tetons.

The tallest peak on the the North American Continent lies on the mightly Alaska Range. Not all of it is snow and ice. Au Contraire, many of the foothills and valleys are as dry as the rainshadow regions of the Sierras, and if not for the elevation, look very similar to it.
In fact, quite a large part of the 'visitable' Denali National Park looks like the above - dry scrubland and tundra with very little trees, and vegetation disappearing above 2000ft. This side, the rain-shadow side of the Alaska range recieved very little rain and hence is not as wet or rich in flora as the southern side of this East-west range.
As the shuttle bus rumbles on the dirt road towards the beautiful Wonder Lake, the views progressively get better (and the twists and turns more harder). Vast valleys from the glaciers in the past stretch all over on one side, disappearing into glacial canyons in the foothills rising to the south. In the distance, mired by the clouds, snow-capped peaks rise up into the sky, with remnants of glaciers still hanging at the very top.
This view is from one of the most expansive views on the road - the high Polychrome overlook, so named for the multi-colored slopes across the valley. This region is one of the most sought-after backcountry units of Denali
