Ovoos sit atop the mountain summit above the Tuvkhuan Monastery temples. Ovoos mark sacred places, often where mountains and sky join. The Tuvkhuan Monastery sits at 2,312 meters, high in the Khangai Mountains. It was erected by Zanabazar, Mongolia's first Bogd Khan, in 1654. (KEYSTONE/CAVAN IMAGES/Ted Wood)
