Fab Foto Friday: The Roof of Mongolia
-
-
The Mongolian landscape makes for some surreal skies.
Mongolian landscapes are unlike any I have seen in the world. The scenery itself is breathtaking, yet there is always the element of the odd cloud formations that add that different dimension to each photograph.
When we were driving through Mongolia on our Mongol Rally adventure it almost always felt like you were experiencing a little of Agoraphobia( fear of open spaces) as the landscape was just that vast. The sky always seemed to be so close to the earth and seemed to go on forever.
This photograph was taken just after our third river crossing. The perfect combination of water, earth and sky. The small river draws your eye to the imposing Altai Mountains and that dramatic canopy above.

Absolutely incredible!! Great shot Dave!
Those clouds look like they’re hanging so low!
Amazing photo. It looks like you can touch the clouds, as though they are hanging, even looming over the land.
Wow the sky does look incredibly close. Beautiful shot.
Just the kind of sky and landscape to make a person feel alive. Lovely.
Absolutely jaw-droppingly beautiful.
Awesome shot Dave! Welcome home to both you and Deb
Damn. Every time I see your Mongolia photos the idea of not eating for a couple months so I can save up the money to buy that lens seems more and more appealing!
Absolutely love this photo, what a great shot!
Wow! What an amazing shot! And I love it even more because it challenges my preconceptions about Mongolia!
Hi Emily, I’m glad that we could change your perceptions of Mongolia, Cheers!
One of the best photos I have ever seen in my life. Amazing.
Wow! Thanks Natalie, that is an amazing compliment!
Love that sky.. and the wide open spaces.
Wow! Montana is known as “Big Sky”, but I call Mongolia “Big Sky”.
Yes Indeed. I haven’t seen Montana’s skies in person, but I can imagine it is beautiful just like Mongolia.
Wondeful shot, the clouds make the landscape so dramatic!
Fantastic photo!
Great shot! The clouds really make it in this one, and add a whole new depth perspective.
Great photo. I want to reach out and touch those clouds.
Beautiful photo! Really love the crispness of the ground plus the silkiness of the clouds!
Thanks Shirlene. The clouds were definitely silky. That’s a great way of describing them.
Dave and Deb, beautiful, absolutely stunning picture. The landscape looks so barren, but the colours are delightful. I never knew about something called Agoraphobia, so thanks for that!
I felt a little bit of Agoraphobia when we were diving Mexico. The waters were so clear after diving in Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay that I was a little freaked out with all the open space around me. Luckily I didn’t have that feeling in Mongolia:-)
The photograph is just fantastic. It really reflects that beauty of the place, making it such a masterpiece.
Thanks so much Stonehenge facts. I am glad that I could capture the beauty of Mongolia because it truly was breathtaking nearly every single day. Especially in Western Mongolia.
It actually reminds me of Texas.
hi……….. Excellent to hear that. I love inspiring people to go somewhere new. That’s how we
find our next destination, from other travels.
