The steppe, a vast and diverse landscape, stretches across continents, captivating the imagination with its unique features. From the steppe-desert border captured in satellite images to the horses gracefully grazing on grasslands located around 200km away, this terrain holds an undeniable allure. In Soviet Central Asia, marked by a map showcasing its expanse, one can witness the rich cultural tapestry woven into this region. Eagle hunters embark on their journey towards the renowned Eagle Hunters festival near Ulgii in western Mongolia, adding a touch of ancient tradition to this modern world. As evening descends upon the steppe, a Kiang herd grazes peacefully under the soft glow of twilight while majestic mountains stand tall in the background. The Spanish steppes come alive as Bee-eaters flutter through vibrant skies during May's embrace. A camel stands proudly amidst nomad yurt tents dotting Inner Mongolia province's Xilamuren grasslands - an enchanting sight that transports you back to simpler times.
