Mongolia photos

Bear in mind they're snaps, not Photographs; we deliberately took compact cameras with us, rather than be laden down with camera gear. (That we wouldn't have known how to use anyway!)

* and some Beijing

Very cool, the Ger/yurts look so pretty. Small neddies, but obviously v strong! Awesome landscape anywhere near Altai mts?

Yes, we were in the Altai mountains for about a week; that's where the glacier and camel pictures are taken.

The horses are fantastic. They live outside in temperatures down to minus 30 in the winter, forage for themselves, and they'll carry people our size for 8 hours including over a mountain pass and still canter at the end.

Love these, think you got some fantastic shots too, I'd say there are several there which rate more highly than snaps.

The landscape is so beautiful.
