Western Kazakhstan Countryside.


En-route from Aktobe to Aral...

We came across this field while driving south towards the Aral Sea.  This picture reminds me of the sense of isolation that I felt while travelling in Kazakhstan.  More than any other place that I have been to, the open flat space here created this sense within me.  I awoke early to see the sunrise over this field that day.  It was easy to do as I had spent the night camping here. Our road was a dirt track that often diverted into many tracks, all seemingly going in different directions but ultimately leading to the same place, Aral.
