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

In this issue, you will see the beautiful autumn landscapes of Kazakhstan by photographer Grigory Bedenko.

Forest in the Rudny Altai. Fir and birch trees.

September in the mountains of the Rudny Altai is extremely picturesque.

The shore of Lake Markakol.

In September, snow is already lying on the peaks of the Ivanovo ridge. The mountains are low and dry. It's already cold enough at two thousand meters. This is a feature of the Altai climate, which is quite severe. Hence the very beautiful Altai contrast of warm and cold.

The huge Bukhtarma reservoir and the snow-capped peaks of the Katonsky Ridge on the horizon.

A ray of light broke through the dense cloud cover.

The light slid across the treetops as the sun set.

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

Fancy relief.
