Ladakh, India
Threshing of barley in the small village of Kanji, at an altitude of 3,800M in the Himalayas. The grain is first trampled by yaks, then thrown in the air by pitchfork so that the wind can separate the grain from the straw and chaff. The work is done by individual families, but the whole village threshes simultaneously since it takes a communal effort to round up the yaks that graze on the recently harvested fields.
