Obersee, the smaller lake just next to the famous Königsee. Ducks are chilling during the last few days of summer. #königsee #photography #ducks #bayern

Alamudun gorge, one of the lesser known valleys nearby the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek. Better than Ala Archa in my opinion. #photography #kyrgyzstan #alamudun #bishkek #hiking #drone

Kyrgyzstan landscapes are a seemingly infinite series of valleys heading up to impassable peaks. These valleys are home to herds of horses and cattle, yurts and wildlife.

Alakul (lake) in Kyrgyzstan. This was the halfway point in a grueling 3-day hike. Worth every second, not just for this view, but the whole way. At the far end, the higher Tien Shan peaks reminding us that, in Asia, 4000m is "low altitude". #kyrgyzstan #alakul #photography #hiking

Earlier this summer I visited Kyrgyzstan for 9 days of hiking. Here at the Alamudun valley, an easy hike with very rewarding views- mostly unknown to western tourists, but in my opinion better than Ala Archa. #photography #kyrgyzstan #alamudun #landscape
