Dawn and dusk have offered some of the most beautiful scenes here in Mongolia. I’ve spent the last few days in the Gobi Desert on the southern border of the country and was able to capture the sun rising over the pale green scrub that stretches for miles, as well as the soft, blue-tinged white of the gers as camp awakes each morning. It is a setting of great peace and quiet; I am sorry to leave it.

Beautiful shots of the morning. I can imagine why you wouldn’t want to leave it. How was Mongolia?

Oh, it was so special to see the sun pop up and then rise so quickly over the perfectly flat ground. Sunsets were pretty awesome, too!
