This picture taken early on June 29, 2016 shows Pagvajaviin Shatarbaatar watching his herd in the Gobi desert near Luusiin. Mongolians went to the polls across their sprawling, sparsely-populated country on June 29 as it struggles to benefit from its vast natural resources amid disputes over foreign investment and slumping demand from neighbouring China. It took Mongolian nomad Pagvajaviin Shatarbaatar seven days to get to his polling station to vote in in the general election -- accompanied by more than 2,000 sheep, goats and horses. Across the country -- more than twice the size of France, but with a population of only three million -- trucks with mobile ballot boxes crisscrossed the vast steppe to enable the sick and elderly to vote, while herders and others streamed to polling stations in set up in gers, traditional Mongolian tents.

John Christopherson puts Brick cheese curds into forms to make blocks of the cheese at the Widmer's Cheese Cellars on June 27, 2016 in Theresa, Wisconsin. Widmer's is an artisanal cheesemaker that has produced cheese in the same facility for four generations much the same way as it was made by the founder, with traditional open vats and curds being stirred and scooped into molds by hand. Record dairy production in the United States has produced a record surplus of cheese causing prices to drop. Despite this surplus Widmer's says it continues to see growth as consumers continue to gravitate toward craft-made food products. Photo credit: Scott Olson / Getty Images.
