Turraah Tien Shan

Sunset on the road back to Bishkek, with yurts by the road
We headed out of the country via Bishkek, the road to which, pictured above, was terrifying. The mountains died down and all became flat. 
Tien Shan: if you listen carefully, they sound just like a golf.
We crossed the border into Kazakhstan and were welcomed by a large picture of El Presidente. As we drove towards Almaty I looked back across the fields and, when I looked carefully, I could see the faint peaks of the Tien Shan high up in the sky, like clouds. You can see why they're called 'celestial mountains'. I'd love to go back some time.
