Flies crowding in Nako.

On my arrival in Nako, a village in the Spiti valley, around late afternoon on 3 September 2022, I started taking pictures of the views outside, not bothering to close the door of my room.

When I returned after a short while, the whole room was crowding with houseflies. I had never seen so many flies glued to the walls at once. As if all houseflies of the village had gathered, perhaps to welcome me, perhaps to investigate.

Did they smell on me life? Or death?
Did they know something that I was blind to?

Who cares.
