First Mongolia Photos

Well, after many failed attemps we finally got a couple of photos to upload. One thing you have to see is some of the big fish photos, but those are larger files and will have to wait. Not much time now to chat, but here is a photo of Char and I on a hike near our research camp in Mongolia shortly after arriving there. There was a prayer spot upon this hilltop, and you can see the Uur River, one of the two rivers we worked on, in the background. This photo doesn't do justice to the glory of the birch trees, although you can see a few, which were in full autimn colors when we arrived...



This second photo shows some of the people from the community (and some of us researchers), when they came by our camp while celebrating a wedding. This is on our last day at the research camp, and following a couple of snowfalls and some cold weather the vegetation has lost its color. Not the people though!

Have to run, but hope to update again soon. Kunming China is a great city!
