#DeerStone, #ErkhelLake, #Mongolia

Drove a long way off road to see these ancient carved stones. They are presumed to be tributes to nomad leaders. The site has several stones of differing shapes.

#RainStorm, #GobiDesert, #Mongolia

I was surprised to find that the Gobi Desert isn't just sand dunes and camels. Upon arrival here it rained buckets for a few days before clearing. The vastness creates a feeling of soul-searching isolation and calm.

#Birch #Forest, #Sicily, #Italy

Wandering on the #Lava fields below #MountEtna you can find birch trees among the cinders. They seem to thrive in that environment.

#Sunset at #FlamingCliffs, #Mongolia

There's a spot in the #GobiDesert where sunset briefly casts light on the face of these cliffs. On the day of my visit it was cloudy and it appeared that I was out of luck. But as there was a fleeting moment where the sun broke through. I have tweeked the brightness-contrast to make the shot more attractive to me.

The Gobi Desert has several ecosystems including grasslands and sand dunes. This is the tail end of the Altai Mountains where they meet the Gobi.

I'm Back!

Some of you might have noticed my absence from Mastodon for the last few months. I'm home now after extensive travels; and will attempt to resume my regular posting.

Here is a shot of a Mongolian nomad and her daughter carving reindeer antlers for sale to tourists.

Walking the dog and testing a new 24-105mm lens. Happy 4th of July.

#Svrzo's #House, #Sarajevo, #BosniaHerzegovina

Off the beaten path in Sarajevo is this well-preserved 18th century #Ottoman house that is like a time machine to another age.

#StoneGate, #Zagreb, #Croatia

This tiny chapel is within the last remaining gate protecting the upper city of Zagreb. There was a fire here in the 17th century and the only thing to survive was an image of the Virgin Mary; the chapel has been a pilgrimage destination ever since. People come to light a candle and thank Mary for protecting them.

#Eruption, #MtEtna, #Sicily

Hiking on a #cinderCone I could hear the mountain "breathe" - distinct low booms every minute or so, as if hungry. The landscape there is eerie black with #birch #tree forests in stark contrast. I stayed late in the evening for a light show of lava and hot boulders.
