| Some monks at the monastery. |
I've been in Ulaanbaatar for a few days now, seeing the city. For no good reason, I haven't taken many pictures. But I took some at the monastery, which is (I'm told) the biggest and most important Buddhist monastery in the country.
 |
| On the left here is Janraisig Datsan, the biggest temple. |
The monastery is a complex of temples and libraries and other things. One of the things is a ger inside the complex.
 |
| This child ended up in many of my photographs because she was running around so much. She is very cute. |
 |
| I wish I knew more about Buddhism. I don't know what this is for. |
Most of the buildings are yellow.
An interesting thing about Mongolia is how much the landscape looks just like Montana. I can't get over it.

For emphasis, a picture from a slightly different location and angle:

| Will thought I should have a series of pictures called "Montana or Mongolia?", but since I don't have any pictures of Montana just now it might be kind of boring. |

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures! Yellow buildings are also wonderful in dark winters, and underused color.
Blogger gives me trouble when trying to comment- sentences too dull?
By the way, are people angry at you because your blog has such a cool name? Cornipes is so much for beautiful than ungulate, and more sonic. I can hear little hooves tapping. Hope you are finding success learning to read.
