Photo by @paleyphoto (Matthieu Paley). Doing a #salto over piles of #hay is apparently a summer ritual for teenagers in Tajikistan's Pamir mountains! In this remote region, people still use animals for threshing, in this case donkeys. I have traveled a lot with donkeys in the Greater #Himalaya - they are the best companions and can trek over surprisingly hard terrain.
