Ulaanbaatar was having its second winter festival on the frozen Tuul River. You see a lot of traditional deels in this photo, and they are having an archery competition. #snow

Evening at Gun lake, Altanbulag soum, Selenge province, Mongolia
We stayed at a Railway Workers hotel and camping grounds - very basic and very soviet-like. This ovoo is at the top of the range behind the hotel complex, a slippery and cold walk in the depths of winter. You need to walk three times around the ovoo. The silk ribbons you see are for the sky and the earth. #snow
After checking out the detail on the roof, just look at those endless vistas of the steppes of Mongolia. Although quite difficult to find, Amarbuyasgalant Monastery is worth the long days of driving on rough roads. Spend some quiet hours at this working monastery.
