Zhumbaktas
by KZBlogA mysterious rock in the middle of Lake Boroboe in Northern Kazakhstan. Legend has it that the army of Ablai Khan took an Oirat princess captive and forced her to marry a Kazakh warrior. She fell deeply in love with one warrior but the others were jealous. So she said that she would marry the man who could shoot to the top of a rock outcrop near the lake. All failed the first time, but her love hit it on the second try. The rivals killed him so she flung herself in the lake and became Zhumbaktas (Mysterious Stone). This photo was taken on the Spring Equinox in March from the top of the rock outcrop and it was still cold enough that you could walk out to Zhumbaktas on the ice.

Okzhetpes is a rock outcrop near Lake Boroboe in North Kazakhstan. Legend says that a captive Oirat woman claimed she would marry the man who could shoot an arrow to the top. All failed the first time, so the name of the place translates as “Place Where Arrows Cannot Reach”. I thought this was a nice woods scene with the high noon winter light fading out the trees, and giving such sharp outlines of the rocks. As is, without any photoshopping.

The famous Central Asia horses slowly but steadily heading home from pasture. I almost got trampled because they do not stop for anything.

Bayterek tower is the symbol of Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. I wanted to get it in the winter evening with snow because winter is also a good symbol for Astana.

A kobyz player in Kazakhstan. The lighting was poor so I overcompensated on shutter speed and ISO and ended up with a blurry shot. More and more I grew to like it as it captures the motion of the artist.

New York had the cow parade and other cities have wolves, dogs, horses. Astana has camels. This bronze baby was decorated by a local artist with traditional figures found on ancient rock drawings in Kazakhstan.

Show off to the world that you are a master musician! Bridge the gap between the traditional dombra and the high-tech Guitar Hero game. Or advertise your geekiness to the world! The dombra is a traditional Kazakh instrument, with two strings, is widely believed to be the ancestor of the lute and most other Westerns string instruments. This is my first T-shirt, my first sale, and by far my most viewed and best-selling item on Redbubble. Thanks so much!

Music Shop
by KZBlogPart of the Astana Day celebrations, they set up a music shop inside a yurt. Fascinating to see the variations in designs and sizes of the dombra as well as the bright Kazakh designs on the walls. The dombra is widely believed to be the first stringed instrument ever, inspiring the lyre in Europe which in turn inspired the guitar, banjo, violin and so on.

A close up of a statue of a Kazakh warrior put up for the Astana Day celebrations outside Capital Park. I liked the way his face was beaten up, almost like the scars of a real warrior and the sad look in his eyes. http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/art/mattecolor:black/product:matted-print/view:preview/3395001-2-great-warrior.jpg

The MIG Memorial in Aktau, or MIG on a stick. I love the way they mounted it up in the air at a steep angle. You can almost believe it will take off at any moment. Except for adjusting the levels to compensate for the sky that got a bit washed out in the bright desert sun, this photo is as-is. Kodak Z1015 / Aperture: f/7 / Shutter speed 1/640s / ISO 80
