I don't know if anyone here reads the Joe Pickett series of novels by C. J. Box but in the latest novel he goes into a lot of detail about these guys. Your pictures are stunning. I especially like #2 with the camels in the background and the majestic eagles spreading their wings in the foreground. And #3 with the man on the horse. I love the pride you see in his face, the long shadows with the horse and the eagle outlined behind him. Every part of it works. This one gave me chills, maybe because I've been reading the Pickett stories forever and Box likes to explain the art of falconry through Joe Pickett's friend Nate. Beautiful work.

Such wide open spaces! No cities, paved roads, or trees in sight. We should all spend a month out there at least once in our lifetimes. Great photos!

Here are a few more images from our trip to Mongolia this September. I appreciate all the great feedback from you!

1,2,3 are photos of different eagle hunters
4 is Aisholpan Nurgaiv, "The Eagle Huntress"
5 is a fun event at the festival where a man and a woman is in a horse race where she beats him with a stick. It is all in fun and they usually kiss at the end.
6 is my favorite eagle hunter in full fur hunting clothes mounted on his horse
7 our camp at Khoton Khurgan Lakes
8 early morning at our Ger in the Altai Tavan Bogd Mountains, just before my horse ride into the mountains (about 10 degrees outside)

Enjoy...Dave
