Kyrgyz yurt in summer camp. This traditional nomad dwelling is made from felt laid over a trellised frame of timber laths. This one is over 50 years old and is perhaps one of the last of its kind because no one makes them now. Note the samovar for making tea beside the yurt. Eastern Kyrgyzstan. July 2002
