Photos from the 15th Floor
Bernie Anderson
Last week's team dinner had us at our Field Director's apartment at sunset. I had my camera and the lighting was perfect for high altitude shots of UB. Thought they would be perfect for Friday's Photos. My kids look like teenagers. Oh .. wait a minute... my kids are teenagers ...
If you look carefully in the first photo, you can see the ger communities (a ger is round felt tent - the common form of shelter in the Mongolian countryside. The Russians call them "yurts", but that's not what they're known as here) running up the mountainside.
The bottom picture shows some of the traffic. Clogged streets are typical here. It's a lot better to look at it all from the 15th floor!
