EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the timeless beauty of Mongolia's vast grasslands as a herder gracefully rides his horse. Located approximately 200km (62 miles) southwest of Ulan Bator, the Mongolian capital city, these grasslands stretch endlessly into the horizon. Mongolia, known for its nomadic traditions and breathtaking landscapes, remains the least densely populated country on Earth with only 1.7 persons per square kilometer. With a population of just 2.7 million people spread across an area three times larger than France, it is no wonder that two-fifths of Mongolians choose to live in rural areas. The image captures a serene moment amidst nature's grandeur; the herder confidently guides his horse through the lush greenery while surrounded by an expanse untouched by urbanization. The harmony between man and animal is palpable as they navigate this pristine landscape together. Photographer David Gray skillfully freezes time in this snapshot from April 4,2012, allowing us to glimpse into Mongolia's unspoiled environment and traditional way of life. Through his lens, he reminds us of the delicate balance between humans and their natural surroundings. This photograph serves as a reminder that despite our modern world's rapid development and urbanization trends, there are still places where ancient traditions persist harmoniously with nature—a testament to Mongolia's enduring spirit and unique cultural heritage.
