Gandan Khiid
Gandan Khiid is the biggest temple in Ulaanbaatar and (it's my understanding) one of the most important in all of Mongolia (though I could be wrong, so if I am, I'll stand corrected). Some of my very first posts in this blog are from Gandan Khiid, but here is another picture I took of Gandan Khiid (and the surrounding ger district) from the top of the hill at that very magical ovoo.

Gandan Khiid #2
Here's another photo I took at Ghandin Khiid last weekend. There are plenty of people selling bird feed for a few cents, and just as many people willing to buy it to feed the pigeons. I generally try to give pigeons a wide, berth, myself!

Gandan Khiid Monastery
I usually try to get as few people in my photos as possible, but there were so many people at Ghandin Khiid last weekend, that I just sucked it up and shot a few photos with people and everything in it. I kind of like the way this one turned out, with all the people leaving and the pigeons up in the air. It seems full of life.
