Mongolia - 3 ways to take

Mongolia is an amazing country and as soon as you get out of Ulaanbaatar you are in the middle of nowhere, where you can use only dust roads with no signs and no idea where you might be heading.

When you travel in Mongolia, you are constantly in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing. It might sound strange by it was actually one of highlights of the trip. The amount of space somehow allows the thoughts to flow more freely.

When taking this photo, I could not believe my eyes when I saw this cloud formation on the sky - these beautiful 3 clouds just above 3 hills. I thought that someone might be playing games with me ..

Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL, f/14, 0.002 sec (1/500), ISO 200, 18 mm
