This energetic image of the horse racing finish at a Nadaam
in Zuunkhara (Mongolia) shows just how much Mongols love their sports and
festivities. This annual festival celebrates the three manly sports of the
Mongols - archery, wrestling and horseriding. It dates back to the time of
Chhingis Khan and is celebrated in every part of the country, even in the
remotest parts of the steppe.

Photo Tips
Cultivate good photography habits for your next trip. Consider:
1. Putting everything in a designated place in your camera bag so it's easy to
check if something's missing or to find it later.
2. Always reset your camera to its usual working mode before you put it away.
3. When you take your lens cap off to shoot always put it in the same
place, a particular pocket, part of your bag etc. It's one of the most easily
lost accessories.
