Goat Herder

On a drive through the desert yesterday, I came across a goat herder along the highway. It was really foggy creating a surreal light cast.  I asked if I could take some images of him and he was good with it. He spoke to the goats in Spanish. I asked if the goats understood Spanish and he, of course, said yes.

I imagined cars, with heaters turned on and music going, racing by him all day and all winter. He was hidden in plain sight which in some ways is why I like the shadow from his hat concealing his eyes in an image below...
