    Every year, at around the middle of February the nomad eagle hunters of Western Mongolia embark on a treacherous 3 days, 90 miles long winter migration through the breathtaking Altai Mountains in the hope of reaching better pastures for their prized livestock. At this time of the year temperatures are frigid (ranging between -30C during the daytime and -40C at night time).While in the older days the entire family made the journey on foot or on horses, today the elderly, the children and the women make this journey on a truck along with all the family's belongings including very young and older animals as well as injured ones. But the bulk of the herd, comprised of bactrian camels, goats, cows, horses and yaks, still has to make the journey on foot led by the younger men of the family.

    The Amish first arrived in the United States in the early 18th century to escape persecution in Europe. As farming is at the center of their lives, they settled in rural areas of the country. Currently the highest concentrations of Amish are found in Ohio, Indiana and in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Amish lifestyle is a deliberate effort to live a simple life of faith and to separate from the modern world and maintain self-sufficiency. Amish culture forbids the use of automobiles and electricity which violates the Bible's instruction. Smoking and drinking is not allowed. Their dress code is very simple and the predominant colors are blues, black and white. Children typically attend school until the 8th grade (14 years old) and then they begin helping with farm and household chores. They have four core principle values: faith, family, community and living a modest life
