Kyrgyzstan 2017 Pictures

[aggienaut]

Okay finally finally went through and sorted through and posted my pictures from Kyrgyzstan! Unfortunately my external hard drive having died made it a little more tedious since I had to re-download them from google photos, and one whole day for some reason had failed to backup and is now lost forever.

In theory I might go back and put pictures in the entries I wrote about Kyrgyzstan. Maybe.



I was staying and primarily working in the valley just behind this rock, known as "broken heart rock," because, yeah. Also you often see those little gypsy cart looking carts, especially by bee yards since people keep them manned 24/7 against theft.



This yurt is a restaurant, but people actually live in yurts that aren't too dissimilar:



"Son, saddle up the donkey I have to go to work"



That's one gosh darn big lake (Lake Issyk-Kul)



Oh hey I hadn't posted this one yet? Gosh darn eagles!!!



Dancers at wedding.

Anyway the rest can be found here, and I might sprinkle some more around when I need a picture for an entry that doesn't lend itself to any particular picture (for every blog entry should always have a picture). Also, coming soon, pictures from Nicaragua!

Beautiful photos.... an area of the world I have no concept of so I look forward to checking out the rest. If you went through that work of adding pictures to the posts, I'd definitely go back and check it out.

Yeah I was eager to go precisely because it's a part of the world that I feel is largely forgotten by the rest of the world. (:

Nice photos! I've never been in that part of the world at all.

I think most people haven't! I was excited to go precisely because it's a kind of forgotten corner of the world I feel (:

What an expansive and gorgeous landscape! Those geological formations <3

Also, wowza, eagles! I mean you'd posted about them before, but whoa!!!

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Yeah there was an interesting band of red sandstone that cut through the landscape in jagged crags, really interesting!

Those photos are lovely. Did the eagles chatter to you? They can be very verbal when they're excited.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Hmm no I don't recall them making any noise. I wanted to move to Kyrgyzstan just to have a pet eagle though!!

Great pics. Thanks.

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous pictures! I particularly love the first one and the one with the eagles. :)

It's easy to take gorgeous pictures of a gorgeous place (:

Some majestic scenery there! Those are huge eagles!
My wife is obsessed with Central Asia. Me, less so.
She's Mexican, so has not met Central Asians in Mexico.
I have met plenty in the US and Europe. I get tired of Communist or former Communist countries and their crap architecture. "Here is the cinder block building where everyone eats. Here is the cinder block building where people buy what there is to buy."

Yeah lots of those ugly concrete blocks in the city.It was interesting to see how some had been decorated to make them more interesting though. One had had a lot of patterned brick facing added to the sides to make it more interesting, I don't think I have a picture but it was quite an improvement
