Several years ago, my husband and I had a great good fortune to be able to travel to Western Mongolia and attend the famed Golden Eagle Festival. What magnificent days we spent there, learning about, and being immersed in ancient Mongolian culture. This interesting face was one of the “judges” and his garb was typical of what all the other participants were wearing, thick fur hats and coats to keep out the cold.
