[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Mongolian man and his horse walk past an Ovoo in Terelj National Park, Mongolia.

Ovoos are sacred mounds of stone topped with blue khadags (prayer scarves). The ritual is to walk around an Ovoo three times in a clockwise direction, toss an offering such as a stone on to the mound and make a wish.

Hi Marlene, wonderful composition with splendid colors and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Interesting location - what a dramatic desert landscape to get to see. This shot is well composed of the man and his horse. Nice strong colours, too.
Cheers!
