Romania - Carpathian mountains - Portrait of a shepherd and his flock of sheep

Portrait of a shepherd wearing plastic leggings and a traditional shepherd's hat in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. Shepherd’s hats are totally handmade. The interior should be white and it should hold water so that the shepherd can use it to collect water from streams to wash in when he’s up in the mountains. Whereas in most countries sheep are reared for wool and meat, in Romania these are seen as by-products and the real purpose of the flock is to produce branza or cheese.
