Portraits from the Ger district, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - Sep 2015
FULL BODY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rv7x
Photographer Billy Macrae travelled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia to see how the city had changed since gaining independence in 1990.
Macrae found that the capital city was a place well and truly in transition.
The talented photographer spent much of the autumn and winter of 2015 in Ulaanbaatar.
He found a fascinating mix of cultures on display, and a positive atmosphere on the streets as people celebrated the anniversary of the founding of Ulaanbaatar.

Amazing Pumpkin carvings by Scott Cummings
Amazing Pumpkin carvings by Scott Cummings
Pumpkin carving has been a longtime Halloween tradition for many, but there is one artist who takes this art form to completely new heights.
From an uncannily picture-perfect rendition of ÒThe DudeÓ from the film The Big Lebowski to sinister and whimsical pumpkin faces with crooked grins and glaring eyes, these are just some of the intricately detailed pumpkin carvings you will find in Scott CumminsÕ oeuvre. Taking no more than two hours to render a work complete, Cummins carefully works his magic on the rind of the pumpkin with the help of his peeling knives and wood carving tools. And while you might think that Halloween would be his favorite holiday, the self-proclaimed Pumpkin Gutter says that it is far from it, despite the fact that the fruit is aplenty this time of year. For Cummins, the goosebump rising holiday merely reminds him of the few remaining days his carvings have left to come to life, seeing as pumpkin season ends rather abruptly for the cream of the crop after the last of the trick-or-treaters has settled in after their dizzying candy high.

Incredible wooden sculpture carvings by Tom Eckert, Arizona, America - May 2013

Sculture carved entirely from wood
WOOD You Believe it... Incredible Sculptures Carved Entirely From Wood
Wood you believe it? These intricate sculptures have been carved entirely from wood.
Tom Eckert painstakingly carves the wood to make forms that include incredibly realistic renditions of fabrics, glass, stone and fruit.
The Arizona-based artist uses traditional techniques to create the impressive works, which are then delicately painted to add realism.
Highlights include plush looking towels, silk knickers draped from a draw and a table with ultra realistic apples and a knife on top.
Other works offer optical illusions such as large pebbles appear to float in the air atop silky fabrics.
Tom explains: "My sculptures are formed entirely of wood and then painted. I use traditional processes to carve, construct, laminate and paint my pieces. The woods I prefer working with are basswood, linden and limewood (all very similar) chosen because they carve and paint well and are very stable.
"Coming from a painting and drawing background, I am still interested in applying some of those techniques to my sculptures. My choice of paint is mostly waterborne lacquer applied using both spray guns and brushes
"Forms carved to suggest cloth recur in many of my pieces. By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Covered forms are often more evocative - with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself. I remember in church one Lent, as a child, being mystified while gazing at the statues shrouded with purple cloth.

Sculture carved entirely from wood
WOOD You Believe it... Incredible Sculptures Carved Entirely From Wood
Wood you believe it? These intricate sculptures have been carved entirely from wood.
Tom Eckert painstakingly carves the wood to make forms that include incredibly realistic renditions of fabrics, glass, stone and fruit.
The Arizona-based artist uses traditional techniques to create the impressive works, which are then delicately painted to add realism.
Highlights include plush looking towels, silk knickers draped from a draw and a table with ultra realistic apples and a knife on top.
Other works offer optical illusions such as large pebbles appear to float in the air atop silky fabrics.
Tom explains: "My sculptures are formed entirely of wood and then painted. I use traditional processes to carve, construct, laminate and paint my pieces. The woods I prefer working with are basswood, linden and limewood (all very similar) chosen because they carve and paint well and are very stable.
"Coming from a painting and drawing background, I am still interested in applying some of those techniques to my sculptures. My choice of paint is mostly waterborne lacquer applied using both spray guns and brushes
"Forms carved to suggest cloth recur in many of my pieces. By tradition, cloth has been widely used to conceal and shroud objects in practices ranging from advertising to church rituals. Covered forms are often more evocative - with a sense of mystery absent from the uncovered object by itself. I remember in church one Lent, as a child, being mystified while gazing at the statues shrouded with purple cloth.
