Gobi Passage Photo: Coming from the ice valley tourist stop, it seemed like we took a shortcut through a series of these rock passes to finally emerge into a lush valley. Public transportation is limited in Mongolia so my usual seat-of-my-pants traveling style was temporarily pushed aside for a package tour through the Gobi Desert. Our driver was a hell of a guy but spoke little English so our ability to extract information from him was severely limited.

Peaks Photo: Unknown mountain visible from Rangwu located in an area off-limits (as declared by the Chinese government) to foreigners. I traveled illegally between Yunan, China to Lhasa, Tibet so I tried to maintain a low profile. As a result, I was unable to ask around for the name of the mountain. If anyone out there knows this mountain's name, send me an email so I can update this post.
Rangwu, Tibet
Markswoman Photo: The archery portion of the Naadam Festival held in July each year. A female archer in elegant Mongolian dress aims to topple a small wall of marked blocks from over half a football field away. The skill demonstrated by the archers in the competition is absolutely amazing as they more often than not hit the center portion of the marked blocks. What's even more amazing, to me at least, is that they arc the arrows at the target as you can see from the position of this archer's bow, yet still manage to hit the target consistently.
