Nomadic Life (Little Pamir, Afghanistan, 2008)

Kyrgyz men prepare to move. Yurt, or tent, or ooy in their language, is the traditional home of nomadic Kyrgyz and is highly portable. The skeleton is made of wood, bought from neighboring countries or traveling traders. The top of yurt is a circle, where the sunshine passes through. This roof circle hole is now used on the flag and national emblem of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
