Hi! I continue my story about the trip along the Pamir Highway. The post about the Kyrgyz part of the trip you can read here, and the first post from the Tajik series is here. So, we are driving through

Today I want to continue telling about my trip along the Pamir Highway, which I took several years ago. The first post in this series was quite a while ago, in it I told and showed how we got from Kyrgyzstan

Not quite mountains in height, but not quite hills either, the Ak-Sai canyons, cut by thousands of winding passages, occupy a fairly large stretch of coastline, about 15 kilometers long and 4-5 km wide

Kok-Kiya is a small river in the Naryn region of Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of 3100+ meters above sea level. It flows near the border with China, and its source is on the slopes of the Kakshaal-Too ridge

One of the most famous local attractions of Kyrgyzstan is the Fairytale Canyons (they are also called Skazka Canyons, and this toponym is often used in this form). A visit there is included in all routes

It is interesting to look at the coast from above. With the right light and water depth, you can simultaneously see the part of the shore that is above the water, and the part that goes under the water

We were driving through a gorge along the river. It was gloomy all around: low, thick clouds covered the sky, and even the mountain peaks were lost in them. But when we were approaching the end of the

Today I want to share with you a selection of photos taken in the Pamir Mountains, near Lake Bulunkul, Tajikistan. This is a highland area, as is most of the country. Specifically there, in the area of

I always try to find additional interesting places lying on the route of the trip from one main point to another and I am very happy when it works out. So, when I was planning a short week-long trip around

Today I want to share with you a few photos of the coast of Lake Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan. That time the sunrise was not bright, but very beautiful — calm, in gentle lilac tones, which painted everything

To be more precise, this entire sunset photoshoot took 34 minutes, from start to finish. And it was like this: we were driving with the firm intention of taking photos, among other things, of probably

At an altitude of about 3300-3500 m above sea level, just a couple of dozen kilometers from the border with China, there is one of the wonderful, still little-visited places in Kyrgyzstan. People come

This view is one of those that amazed me the most during my recent trips. From the road we could see only a small part of the pond and islets of green thickets, and it was very nice, but nothing extraordinary.

When I travel and have the chance to spend several nights in a row in one place, especially if it is really picturesque, then I will most likely have a lot of photos from there. And that's good! Because

A ray of low sun briefly broke through the clouds. And suddenly the rather gloomy, dark mountainside lit up and sparkled with shades of green, like a precious stone in the light. I was lucky to catch this

I suppose all landscape photographers love such bright sunset colors. Well, at least I am always very happy about them! :) Several shots in different parts of the sky, a very small difference in time —

This picturesque picture is the place where a stream from the Tien Shan mountains, or more precisely from the Moldo Too ridge, flows into Song-Köl Lake, Kyrgyzstan. Being on the ground, I would not even

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you some photos of unusual birds for me — for the Show Me A Photo Contest Round 179 by @nelinoeva in the Feathered Friends community. So, these are pelicans. I don't

In the golden light of the setting sun, only silhouettes remain from the surrounding world — lines, shapes. And this very light, color in various shades in layers. Everything is laconic and simple. I like

Today I have here a nice sunset over a mountain group, headed by the stratovolcano Cabaraya. It is located in Bolivia, which I have not been to yet — but is very close to the border with Chile, a little
