Zailiyskiy Alatau, by Quentin Flowers
In 2018, I was fortunate enough to travel to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. This picture was taken from a short peak in the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountain range near Almaty, Kazakhstan. My first thought when I got to this peak and looked out at the breathtaking view, was that this incredible art was just sitting here, and I had never even heard of its existence. There is so much beauty just beyond what we know.
