The story

A late-spring morning in Pulga's Fairy Forest: a traveller strolls the path across a flowering clearing past the giant deodars, a village dog trotting ahead.

Why this picture

Pulga is a hamlet at 2,210 m above the Parvati, near Barshaini at the road's end, reached on foot. Its dense forest of very old, tall deodars is known as the Fairy Forest; by late spring the trails are clear of snow, the streams and little waterfalls are full, and friendly village dogs walk hikers along the paths.

The sky wears Kullu shawl, from Himachal Pradesh.

The motion

The sun's rays turn; two birds cross the sky; the dog trots and wags its tail; the traveller walks; the clearing's flowers glint in turn. A 16-second loop.

Another moment in Pulga

A second scene: another true moment at Pulga, drawn in the graphic vocabulary with the animals and city symbols that belong there. Wide for screens, tall for a phone held upright.

The story

An October afternoon above Pulga: a traveller lies back in a striped hammock slung between two old deodars at the forest's edge, a village dog waiting underneath; below, the valley falls away to the hamlet's wooden houses among apple trees red with fruit, under the snow peaks.

Why this moment

Pulga, a car-free hamlet at 2,210 m reached on foot across the Parvati, is where travellers slow down: a hammock slung between the old deodars at the edge of the Fairy Forest, the valley below. Its wooden houses stand among apple orchards that glow red in autumn, and its friendly village dogs keep walkers company.

The sky wears Gond scales, from Madhya Pradesh.

The motion

Clouds and a flock of birds cross the sky; the sun's rays turn; the deodar's crown and the apple trees sway; the dog looks round. A 16-second loop.
