Northern Tien-Shan at Sunset, View from Almaty City, Almaty, Kazakhstan

Made this photo a three years ago on the last trip to my home city, Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. The highest mountain on the photo is Small Almaty Peak and it’s 4376m (14,357ft) high. It’s interesting that Small Almaty Peak is actually much higher than High Almaty Peak which is only 3700m (12,139ft) high. The Small Almaty Peak is just much further from the city and therefore looks smaller. Due to its close proximity to Almaty, it is a very popular mountaineering destination. I was there ontop. Once. :-) Unforgettable feelings and view.

Northern Tien-Shan, Almaty, Kazakhstan

Northern Tien-Shan, Almaty, Kazakhstan. Roughly 3000m above sea level.

From my film archive. Shot long time ago with my Contax (I still love it!) and 16mm fish-eye on color negative film. Color negative film is like a roll of plastic film on a spool with light-sensitive layer that people put into old photo cameras instead of CF or SD flash-cards. Old school stuff.
