Day Two: Countryside / Ten Day Image Share

In light of my promise (and not being able to keep up yet) of daily to every other day posts, I am about to share with you an image- and start a ten day image share that I share one image, the “best” image from that date- from ten days in a row from my trip to Mongolia. I am starting on the first “date” that i have pictures in my files- but that “date” is wrong- so I’m just calling it “Day One” for that reason, and then noting it with either “Ulaanbaatar” or “Countryside” or “Terelj” – which may be vague, but that’s the best I have- unless it’s a specific building or statue or something that i can figure out the name of. Some of the images you may have already seen, if so, please just come back the next day thanks {note: the top images on these posts are definitely not taken on the same day as the images I am sharing}

so… here we go…

Day Two

basically, too hard to choose just one!

This was the day when we went out to the countryside to by some sheep. Met a really nice family, checked out their herd and their cows and such- THIS was the place where the wild horses ran through just about right when we got there…

On the way there, we stopped at this Ovoo. I know you have seen at least one image of it already- honestly, it was the only one we stopped at the entire trip in Mongolia so I was glad I got these few images of it. Now that I think about it, this day had a lot of those kind of moments…. It was on this day that I realized I just might be in the most beautiful place on earth…

Below you will see a Ger with one of this family’s motorcycles by it. They had two, at least that is what i saw, anyhow, depending on what the errand was, different people used different methods of getting around- the horses, the motorcycles and I am sure that at least one of the families out in that area had a truck of some sort. It seemed to me that there were a few different family groups rather close together (but not really close like WE are used to) that helped each other out with different things- it seemed that one family made the felt for sure, and that another family might have been making extra cheese curds and seemed to have extra cow milking stations.
