World Nomad Games 2016

Late afternoon light at Kyrchyn Jailoo, the place where shepherds take their animals to graze at altitude in the summer months above Cholpon Ata, Kyrgyzstan. This image is from a sort of open-air festival celebrating nomadic and Kyrgyz culture at the World Nomad Games. Of all the beautiful yurts I saw today (there are 300 from across the region) this one is my favorite from the outside. Although they may appear small at a distance, yurts are surprisingly large once you go inside. via Instagram http://ift.tt/2cr1Ybw
