Beautiful pictures. It was an incredible journey to follow.
What gorgeous photos! It makes my heart ache for Mongolia and its vast expanses. Years later, it still holds me spellbound.
These are really incredible, great job Sherry! :)
Beautiful photos – absolutely stunning! What camera/lens are you using?
Terrific photos. What an amazing journey.
These pics are sensational! I think my fave is the one of the ovoo!!!

Thanks everyone! It was a great trip! Grace – I hope you do the rally one day! Dave and Deb – as strange as it sounds I miss our time in the car!! :)
beautiful pictures, I once watched a documentary about Mongolia, they have a very interesting history
Great pictures Sherry… looks awesome!!
Great shots Sherry! We were on the Mongol Rally with our partner in crime and these photos brought back wonderful memories.
Completing the Mongol Rally is pretty bad-ass. Mongolia is definitely one of my must see places before I die. Awesome photos!
Wow! Gorgeous photos. I really need to go to Mongolia.
