Tsagaan Sar

These are some photos from my first Tsagaan Sar last year.
Recently it was the lunar new year which in Mongolia is celebrated with the national tradition known as Tsagaan Sar. This is a time of year when families travel all over Mongolia to go see relatives and give thanks for the new year. This year I was out in the country side and my camera's card became un-formatted and unreadable which is a huge shame because of the location that we were in. But these photos are from the year before that being the 2014 celebration of Tsagaan Sar on the Tuul river just out side where I live. All though it was extremely cold there where literally hundreds of people on the ice celebrating and taking part in all the national activities, these being archery and others that I don't actually know the name too but is in the image below the text . It really is an sight to see when, hundreds of people on a frozen river celebrating their new year.
