Wee opted to take the trail to the right rather than trek the jeep trail. It was absolutely breathtaking!
these children trek a long way to get home from school. they pass through a tunnel dug across the mountain, then walk on a narrow path alongside the mountain (shown in photo above), then take a path which goes alongside the riverbed of wawa dam, and then finally their hometown.

Stage # 37 Beget >> Sant Aniol d'Aguja (4/4)
Sant Aniol d'Aguja.
That's all we nedeed to complete our "home" landscape: a monastery!
The church building is on the edge of the stream Sant Aniol, which passes near the apse, and the valley of Aguja (or Sant Aniol).
The monastery was founded in 859; in the middle ages had been home to a Benedictine group of monks and later a parish and a sanctuary.
Opposite the church is the house of the tailor rectory and shelter, now abandoned and in ruins.
There were lots of people spending the Saturday afternoon here, but they left by day's end. Complying with the rules of the Pyrenees, we waited till 19:00 to raise our tent - meanwhile we were doing the laundry and cooking our spaghetti lyophilized.
As most of the trekkers do, we didn't wait for the sun to set down to go to our tent to sleep...

"To possess the world in the form of images is, precisely, to re-experience the unreality and remoteness of the the real." Susan Sontag, On Photography.
~~~
Dani men on the long trek to market high in a remote corner of West Papua's central highlands, 1600m/5200ft above sea level - Grand Valley of the Balim River, Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Shot with a compact semi-automatic Pentax Zoom 35mm point-and-shoot film camera, film developed in a Sulawesi street-corner shophouse, circa 1996.
Adornment
The Dani elder in the foreground is adorned with an upturned boar’s tusk nose piece, a single bird-of-paradise plume, a tightly woven bush-twine head band of cut shell pieces, an ornamental wristband of finely woven pandanus fibres, armbands of pigs’ scrotum above both elbows (thought to ward off ghosts), a walking stick, and the iconic long koteka or penis gourd.
Owning the Gaze
The men come from one of the scattered settlements under the mountain wall at the end of the infinity path that cuts across the valley floor in the backdrop below. They pause for a moment on a high-ridge pass to observe an approaching stranger, the photographer-Other. The photographer's gaze is returned with a seemingly wary look of wonder and resistance as the observer become the observed. Subject owns the gaze for a frozen moment.
The Gardens
The path below passes through elaborate sweet potato gardens and a huge maze of sophisticated irrigation ditches. Sweet potatoes (over 70 varieties) are the staple food and account about 90 per cent of the Dani diet.
The Dani are accomplished gardeners and pig farmers with a Neolithic (late Stone Age) culture and technology that relies on polished stone adzes, axes and fire-hardened digging sticks. These tools are gradually being replaced with iron and steel.
First Contact
The indigenous peoples of West Papua migrated from southeast Asia and the Australian content about 30,000 to 50,000 years ago during the Ice Age when sea levels were lower and distances between islands shorter.
Western "first contact” with West Papua's Grand Valley Dani was established in 1938 during American-led botanical and zoological expeditions to the central highlands, less than sixty years before this photograph was taken.
~~~
Ethnographic efforts at demystifying Dani neolithic cultural practices and ritualized inter-clan warfare in the region are associated with the early ground-breaking Harvard-Peabody Expedition, 1961-63. They include Anthropologist Karl Heider’s accounts in “The Dugum Dani: A Papuan Culture in the Highlands of West New Guinea,” Aldine Publishing (1970); and “Grand Valley Dani: Peaceful Warriors” (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology), Wadsworth Publishing (1996). Also, filmmaker Robert Gardner’s classic social documentary, “Dead Birds” (1965), and writer Peter Matthiessen’s gripping first-hand accounts in “Under the Mountain Wall: A Chronicle of Two Seasons in Stone Age New Guinea,” Viking Press (1962).

Stage # 37 Beget >> Sant Ariol d'Aguja (2/4)
Ups and downs, there were two stronger ascents that put to the test our weary bodies, which were carrying 15 kg over nearly 40 days.
But the freshness of the forest heals us quickly. The forest, it's mushrooms, it's mosses, shadows and fountains... and so many birds singing...
In fact the forest sing for us as we go, a singing of many beings that lurk in the shadows. Will the trees themselves sing?
We are increasingly interning in the mild Mediterranean climate, the month of August is near and... we found the first blackberries, fruit that she loves!
