Thought this was interesting. Wonder if I'll ever travel there. Its on my 'to do' list very near the top.

That was a very insightful article. Great photos too. Let's hope traditions like these don't die out.

What a wonderful article stirring photographs and what a delight in her face
Ashol-Pan's a lucky young lady, but she looks such a credit to her parents; I hope they're quietly proud of her

Thank you for the link

Great stuff!
I like the way that the eagles are released to breed - good forward planning!

 

[Macaroon]

That really is the stuff of dreams; I wonder how long such a wonderful tradition will last? Beautiful, wild and full of wonder as expressed in her radiant smile and those fabulous landscapes...............Here's hoping, eh?

Look at the smile on her face .I also was impressed that the birds do their job and are then released with a prize on the mountainside,then on to breed.

But they cost a lot to insure, so I have heard.

Just reading this over on FT
