Hello everyone,

I would like to start my adventure in steemit with an adventure that my wife and I have experienced during a journey in Mongolia. _MG_9163.jpg

Mongolia is a stunning land where you can spend hours on the car without seeing towns or cities. We spent 16 hours on the bus to get from Ulan Bataar to Muren which is in the north of Mongolia near the Khovsgol lake._MG_8499.jpg_MG_8604.jpg_MG_8564.jpg_MG_8775.jpg
After spending a week near the lake we decided to visit an ethnic group located about 10 hours away by car from where we were. We left early in the morning and when we went out of our ger we seen that during the night snowed and this event stopped us a couple of times because we needed to push our van stuck into the snow._MG_8838.jpg

After 10 hours we finally reached the closest village to our destination which it was a couple of hours away from there and the only way to reach it was by horse riding._MG_8868.jpg_MG_8986.jpg_MG_8969.jpg_MG_9082.jpg_MG_9126.jpg
We spent a week in a tent without any kind of comfort but it has been one of the best journey we made so far. _MG_8728.jpg_MG_9159.jpg
Unfortunately we didn't see the west and the south but it is a good excuse to visit again this magical countryUntitled-1.jpg_MG_8749.jpg

Excellent photos, interesting story @max28… please provide some info on your equipment and if you're sending sometnih shorter, exposure data on your photos. You will be featured in the Daily Photo Selection. Upvoted, resteemed & followed.

Do I have to post the exif of every photo?

It would be nice, but it isn't necessary, especially when you send so many photos. If you have some with critical exposure settings, that should be a good practice, so the viewers could not only enjoy your photos, but also learn from them.
