The people of Mongolia are very friendly to foreign visitors and quite happy to have their photos taken, especially the children, as elsewhere in the world.
This is a selection of close up portraits from around the country, in the city, the countryside, at the Summer Camp of the Lotus Children’s Centre and at the Naadam and Altai Eagle Festival. Most of these portraits are from children, with some adults in traditional dress and, for contrast, even a camel.
All wonderful people, happy, cheerful and friendly.
