Every year in July the good people of Mongolia enjoy their biggest national event, the Naadam Festival of Manly Sports: wrestling, horse racing and archery. Whether they come to compete or to cheer, most come decked out in their traditional attire. I captured this woman checking herself out in a possible new jacket in the main market of Ulaanbaatar where days before the event the crowds in the clothing section were elbow-to-elbow.

This is posted for Weekend Reflections hosted by James where you can find links to many more takes on this fun theme.
PS. I'll be posting more about this most wonderful festival in the months to come. Should you be curious, be sure to come back.
