Faces of Kyrgyzstan
Time I think for another ‘Faces of’. I was initially going to do a ‘Faces of Central Asia’, combining Kyrgyzstan with Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, but when reviewing my photos from the region, I realised that I had more than enough photos of people from Kyrgyzstan alone.
At Altyn Arahsan, in the mountains.
Also at Altyn Arashan.
At Altyn Arashan, in the mountains in the region near Karakol, I stayed at a hut with a family.. No electricity there, but the family were very friendly and happy for me to take photos.

In Bishkek the father of this family tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I would take their photo. Truly!
Actually I just wanted a shot of the hat, but the family were happy to pose in front of the ‘Broken Heart’, near Karakol.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Faces of Kyrgyzstan! Take care and May the Journey Never End!
That little boy has an intense look in his eyes, great set of photos
Cheers! He certainly does. It was great to go back and review photos from Kyrgyzstan. It’s truly a beautiful place!
I loved almost everything about Kyrgyzstan – the people, the culture, the food, the scenery. Really lovely place 🙂
I was pretty entranced myself!
