natgeoPhotograph by JohnStanmeyer Sheep returning to Zovasar , a small village in the mountains of Batman, Turkey. My friend, my Family and Nat Geo colleague, @AnushBabajanyan ~ follow Anush Babajanyan here on IG for beautiful visual poems of Turkey, the beyond ~ spent many days in this village, welcomed by all, feeling as if home. We were working together on a story that will come out in the April 2016 edition of National Geographic magazine. What I love of about Zovasar was its place in time. Not lost nor frozen in any period. The time based on essence, as it always has been. Always will be. It is why I chose to use the #Hipstamatic camera, allowing one foot in the present, another firm foot in the past. Wrapped in the unknown beauty of what will be. All my best, John Stanmeyer #sheep #landscape #Zovasar #turkey #shepherd @natgeo @natgeocreative @thephotosociety
