"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

East/ West: Architecture
Or "vernacular" architecture in Christopher Alexander's words...
This is NOT Magdalena (though I have had people insist it is and even locate it); it is Bayan Nuur in Olgii aimag. Nor are these. This is: I even put plastic on the windows.
Thanks for pics of a couple of my favorite places. The Spur may be slightly more glamorous than either, but does Bayan Nuur have an APU store like the one in Olgii?
