Cow and calf, Khovd river valley, Olgii, Western Mongolia


The Eagle Festival takes place in the fall in Olgii, Western, Mongolia and the eagle hunters come from miles around to participate in the competitions including: best Kazakh costume, eagle and horse harness; fastest return to hunter after release; archery; camel races; and Shyrga Tartu or eagle returning to a lure towed behind a horse. This cow and calf seem un-fazed that they were lying in the middle of the route for the camel race.
