Assembling the lattice wall to form the shape of the yurt. Shieli, Kazakhstan

The first step in assembling a yurt is to attach the lattice wall sections to the door frame as villagers are doing here in Shieli in the Qizilorda region. The door of a yurt always looks to the east so that the sun is the first visitor to the nomad's home.
