I took this photo at the start of the #GoldenEagle #Festival, October 8, 2019. Those fortunate enough, like me, to make it to this remote location were greeted by about a dozen mounted #Kazakh #eagle #hunters, who slowly rode their horses through the crowd, an eagle on their arm. I’ve been all over the world, but this festival ranks in my top three most amazing experiences.
Taken at the base of the Altai Mountains, outside of Bayan-Ulgii, #Mongolia, and ~100 mi/160 km from the nearly intersecting borders of Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and China.
