I've always enjoyed reading about the small pockets of civilization that continue to live with their culture relatively unchanged for hundreds, if not thousands of years, so I was fascinated by a story on the BBC about a Kazakh girl who is training to hunt with a golden eagle amongst the Altai mountain range in western Mongolia.
The article and the accompanying photographs by Asher Svidensky were the inspiration for this illustration.
Now I want a Golden Eagle. Even more.
