Leaving Song Kul

 Leaving lake Song Kul

One of our meals in the yurts.
A lady milking a horse.
A general view of the grasslands.
The truck stuck in mud trying to leave Song Kul.
Some of the hairpin bends and a patch of snow in the bottom left hand corner.



Lake Song Kul, Kyrgystan

 Lake Song Kul, Kyrgystan


The entrance to Song Kul road, 59 kilometres of dirt track.

One of the farms en route.
The long slow road. 

The valley slopes.


Just one of many hairpins.
An ice wall.
There's always one who has to write in the snow.
Looking down the valley.

Th shores of Lake Song Kul. 
It might seem a short walk to the nearest hill but distances are deceptive and its a long way across the grassland.

A big jump in posting due to no internet, and no time to fill in any narrative so make up your own on university, cathedral, government buildings and a canyon.
