Photographer’s Note

A storm is coming. In Mongolia, human being is very small and powerless in front of the nature landscapes and weather.

Superbe cliché ou le contraste entre le calme général du paysage contraste superbement avec la tempête qui va surement arriver ! Dommage que la netteté soit un peu limite (scan ?)

What a beautiful place! Was the sky really that colour? I don't think I've seen such blue clouds before...

Extraordinary colours in this shot, and a good view showing the wide open spaces that Mongolia has to offer. The barren hills across the water look quite forbidding. It's probably not easy to live in a place as empty as that..

Dramatic contrast and great colours in this shot. I like the simplicity in the lines of the landscape and the buildings add a sense of scale and a human dimension.

beautiful landscape, great colors, i really like the way you managed to split the picture into four parts - four stripes of colors. and people seem to be so small somaping with the nature - this yurt is so small... good shot

What a landscape. It's so vast and empty. The building is so tiny. This really captures the strong feeling of people being small and powerless with nature nicely. And yet people still live here and survive it so it also captures that spirit of man trying to conqueror nature by adapting to all conditions. Very nicely photographed.

... if the pasture is a little more green...

Thanks for your note that I like very much:"In Mongolia, human being is very small and powerless in front of the nature landscapes and weather".
If possible, I'd like to learn the story of your trip, so I could consider mine.

Regards,
