Autumn in the mountains of Kazakhstan from a bird's eye view

In this issue, you'll see beautiful autumn landscapes of Kazakhstan captured by photographer Grigory Bedenko.







Forest in the Rudny Altai. Fir and birch trees.

September in the Rudny Altai Mountains is extremely picturesque.



The shore of Lake Markakol.



In September, snow already covers the peaks of the Ivanovsky Range. The mountains are low and dry. At an altitude of two thousand meters, it is already quite cold. This is a characteristic of the Altai climate, which is quite harsh. Hence the beautiful Altai contrast of warm and cold.



The enormous Bukhtarma Reservoir and the snow-capped peaks of the Katonsky Range on the horizon.



A ray of light broke through the dense cloud cover.



Light glided across the treetops as the sun set.



This place is called Kiin-Kerish, or the City of Spirits.



Bizarre terrain.
