Lake Song Kol Lake - is the largest alpine lake in the valley sandwiched between the inner ridges of the Tien Shan.

Kyrgyzstan. It is with such a picture in such colors it is usually associated. Pasture, horses and mountains in the distance, over which clouds float slowly. Outside it was the second day of autumn, the grass has turned yellow, and soon these areas the snow falls.

We had another dnovka, so that the rush was absolutely nowhere. Walked with Victor on the shore, the dog ran around us and frightened many sheep.

After a walk and decided to launch the drone to make a couple of shots from a height.

Vodicka looks tempting, but did not dare to swim - the street is only 15 degrees Celsius, and the wind is quite strong.

South Beach places swamped.

Each time our visit to the lake is a bit different. Here frame with clouds, made in the autumn of 2015.

According to various estimates on the lake is home to 41 to 69 species of birds. Just 52 species of waterbirds were observed. Lake - an important point for migrating waterfowl such as demoiselle, mountain goose, black stork.

At sunset, cameras traditionally worked "at full capacity", well, we have prepared a delicious dinner, the main course which were sausages on a gas grill.

The lake is fed by small streams and rivers with glaciers, flows a river Song Kol Lake - which flows right into the Naryn River. Freeze on the lake seen from the end of September until the end of May.

Have you ever seen pictures of the night sky with bright paths? It seems that this is the trajectory of the stars, but in fact the stars are fixed, they are just removed from the rotating Earth. As if the photographer was standing on the vinyl when she played ...

Polar Star, the lights of passing cars on the other side and the bright flash of a satellite "Iridium".

The same place a few hours later. The moon had risen, and by its light all around transformed. At night, as always, it was cold - still 3000 meters made themselves felt.

On the bird's-eye view of morning light water has some amazing turquoise color.

Scenic and quiet coves, the complete absence of people, but right here get up in the camp!

Girl grazing cows, ran to meet the unexpected guests.

To put it mildly, it has surprisingly been here to see this building in the middle of the steppe. From a distance, I could not believe that this mausoleum. Where is he here?

And one more interesting place, by which we could not pass. What do you think, what kind of concrete "Autobahn" in these cut off from civilization ends?

When I found this place on a satellite map, at first I did not believe my eyes!

Hello from the distant USSR, once again faced with the legacy of which is astonishing. Well, what if there are no settlements, and only some pastures and a few yurts? Why not build an airport with a year-round operation (which we then local elders told) that the winter could get to the lake, if necessary, on an airplane? You never know who need a doctor, or equipment to food, for example? Today on such "excesses" have "no money".

These are interesting mystery, as it turned out, stores Lake Song Kol Lake. Meanwhile, we have decided to go with friends to the capital, as the month of "tourist" visit to Kyrgyzstan came to an end, and it was necessary to make a temporary registration to then had no problems at check-out. At the side of the road Bishkek-Naryn led a very beautiful road that six years ago, once had a chance to go at night, for "schedule", "end days" and "tomorrow, according to the plan should be over there." It was very scary when the rock on the right, the left simply nothing, and then the side lights running ahead of the car suddenly disappear - it turns out, began a steep serpentine.
