Motorized Horse Herder

Even though I took this photo roughly five years ago, I'm just getting around to posting it now. Mongolia was a short side-trip for me at the time, and I never spent the amount of time this beautiful country truly deserves. When I think back about countries who are filled with natural beauty, Mongolia is always near the top of that list.

This scene is just so surreal. We had stopped in some small town, and next thing I know I see a car HERDING horses across the steppe. Practical or bizarre, it really happened! You just never know what surprises you'll find when traveling in another country.

I managed to take some video with my iPhone at the time - probably an iPhone 4, so the quality is not amazing, and it's quite noisy, but having that video element really illustrates the story a bit more I think.
