Mongolia, Near Ulaanbaatar (Buddhist Lama), 1913
Ulaanbaatar is the capital city of Mongolia. It is the country’s cultural, industrial and financial heart, the centre of Mongolia’s road network and is connected by rail to both the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia and the Chinese railway system. While the city has developed tremendously, the area around it remains much the same. It is still an epicenter of Buddhist monasticism. You can still see monks riding horses in the area.
