Yaks are part of the Bovine family and are native to Tibet and Asia. They were domesticated around 1000 B.C.and are used as pack and saddle animals, are kept for milk, meat and skin. Its hair is used for ropes and wool and even the dung is dried and used as fuel because there are no trees in the bare Tibetan Plateaus. To the Tibetan, his Yak is also his motorcycle, his tractor, his refridgerator and an indicator of his wealth.

Wow -- interesting shot! I assume this is someplace exotic in the world... but I've made that assumption before and later learned that it was, like, Iowa or something :) - 9

Seems out of focus.

Very interesting picture. Good placement and beautiful backround. I wish the subject were a little more in focus.

Personally, I would have like to have been a little closer to the guy and his yak.

This is definately one of the most colorful and different photos of the week, but now with transportation being next weeks challenge bet you wish you could use it again.

Beautiful scenery.

The Yak only has space if he goes backwards though that may be what you are trying to imply with respect to this mode of transportation.

Well this certainly is original! And everything totally in focus. The lake out the back and the mountains give this photo a lot of weight, well done.
