Sukhbaatar Square, the main square in the capital city of Mongolia Ulaan Baatar. The Government palace sits on this square along with the national ballet. Sukhbaatar was the 1921 Mongolian revolutionary hero. I used this square to orientate myself around the city.

Sainshand, Mongolia on the edge of the Gobi desert, the town as you can see is dusted in sand, we walked from the train station into town where we spent the night. I snapped these photos on the walk in. Kind of looks like a scene from Star Wars on planet Tatooine.

In 2005 I was in Mongolia working as a Journalist, I’d run across many Soviet relics in my travels around the country. An obvious one was this, just at the entrance of a school in Sainshand the capital of Dornogovi Province. It was leaning and many of the bricks at its base had crumpled away.
