Mongolia - South Gobi - Land of Long Shadows
Life Is A Journey, Not A Destination …
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.
We've traveled in this Russian 4x4 only on the dust roads. As I was not in the car alone, I could not always ask the driver to stop. However when there was such a beautiful light, there was nothing from stopping me to take photos.. However my friends saw it different and said that the only time I didn’t take photos was when I rode that wild Mongolian horse.. I really could not.. Even I would have loved to..

I get the same complaints. Photography and friends don't mix, so I travel alone. Beautiful light.

Such beautiful warm golden tones, Lucie. I love how the texture of the desert is mimicked by the clouds overhead.

You said: "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."
I feel that its one of the highlights of life itself, being in the middle of nowhere and realizing how much time we waste indoors, in front of computers, or rushing to work.
