Romania - Carpathian mountains - A shepherd makes mamaliga at a sheepfold in Lunca Ilvel

A shepherd makes mamaliga whilst smoking a cigarette at a sheepfold in Lunca Ilvei, Romania. Shepherds live on ‘urda’ a kind of cottage cheese made from whey together with mamaliga or maize mush, made by cooking maize flour with water in a cauldron until it can be turned out into a board as a solid block and sliced like bread.
