Photo by Matthieu Paley @paleyphoto | Woolook Bu is part of a very remote community of Afghan Kyrgyz living 14,000 feet up in the Pamir mountains of Afghanistan. I watched as she rounded up her herd and, suddenly, in a natural display of love and affection, embraced a young calf that had just been born the day before.

Every year around mid-August, the Perseid meteor shower puts on a spectacular show for stargazers across the globe, a phenomenon caused by Earth passing through debris left behind by the Swift-Tuttle comet. In its peak years, the number of meteors seen can reach 200 an hour. I captured this single exposure during an all-night time lapse on August 11, 2016, near Muskegon, Michigan.

You can see engravings on the shrine walls including in the middle chapel, home to the golden-necklaced sacred bark of Amen-Re with the head of a ram.
