A ‘Window’ To Gaze At Birds
Photographer L.Jargalsaikhan took photos of around 370 of the total 513 species of birds recorded in Mongolia to date. His photos have their very own theme as each of them highlights the bird’s grace and beauty rather than its character, lifestyle, and sustenance. That is maybe why the line ‘like the birds, praise the warm red sun casting long shadows on its way down to setting’ comes into my mind at this moment. Everyday has its space in time where unpredictable encounters await us. There is no way to tell what bird will be chirping as the sun rises tomorrow. We had the opportunity to interview Jargalsaikhan and it was as if all birds were welcoming the morning sun.
