This is a boundary between the desert and the non- desert ( is there a word for it?)
This is as far as horses and cars can go; as far as trees and grass can establish.
As far as rivers will run.
Beyond this, the sand dunes start; when the wind blows, it sings as the sand shifts.
That’s why they call it Resonant Sand Desert.
It is in Inner Mongolia, China.
A wonderful boundary picture!!!
Thank you!

Welcome Michael.

Correct me if I’m wrong: weren’t the mongols the ones who practically “invented” the horse? Or tamed it first? I thought I’d read that somewhere. Might be wrong.
Their skills with horses had enabled them to conquer a large part of Asia and some part of Europe. Their were able to move very quickly in their conquer. You may be right with the part that they “invented” the horses.
I think several people “invented” the horse roughly at the same time. Just checked. It looks like the oldest proof of horse “domestication” goes back to the 3500 BC, 5500 years ago, in the Botai culture (whoever they were) in North Kazakhstan. Central Asia. (I was not too far) 🙂
The horse must be a great “invention” before the cars come along.
I learned riding at a young age. And rode horses in many a distant place. It was nice. Just the right speed to move on and enjoy the trip.
Unfortunately I still don’t know how to ride a horse!
Never too late to learn.
Very true!
