Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

Sept. 14: Fermin Salomon Morales, from central Peru, tends a band of 1,000 sheep on rangeland east of Moxee in Yakima County. Morales works in Washington state for three years at a time, sending money back to his wife and children. He then heads back to his small South American village for three months before returning for another stint on the range. "Morales says he loves the big sky land, and he breaks up the loneliness with cellphone calls back home and traditional Peruvian dishes he cooks for himself." - Alan Berner
