Mongolia
Technically this region is called Inner Mongolia, but it's culture and landmass are spanning the countries of China and Mongolia It's history is complex, but the people and landscape are stunning.
I got the chance to photograph a Mongolian wedding in 2019 when I hitchhiked around the area and got invited into one of their traditional huts by the guy on the cover photo.
Only 4 weeks per year it looks green in this area, all the people are happy and the horses can eat as much grass as they want, then winter sets in and the land changes to the yellow color its known for: dead grass.
