Kishlak is a permanent rural settlement in many countries of Central Asia, including winter housing, which has a permanent place, in contrast to summer housing among nomadic peoples. It can be either very small or large, for several or several thousand people, and by tradition it is usually surrounded by a solid clay fence.
This kishlak is small, and above it there is a mountainside, shimmering in different colors. What a majestic and beautiful view, with these natural patterns as in some abstract painting! A person must feel so small in the mountain's shadow. If you look closely, you can see small dots at the bottom of the photo — domestic animals, most likely cows or yaks. The photo was taken in the vicinity of Lake Bulunkul, Tajikistan.
It's better to watch the photo in high resolution.
