If you remember this photo, I’m here to tell you that it was found about on mile from this spot all the way between those mountains in the river.
Lake Issik is really have this color, no faking it with tools, it has some kind of mineral in it I guess to have this greenish color to it. It is cold like ice too.
Over the next few days I’ll post a few photos of different ex and current leaders. They were portrayed in some form or another, using different media and for very different purposes. I just happen to be in those places with my camera.
Most will probably recognize this dude, if not, then the title of this post gives it away. On the way to lake Issik in Tian Shan mountains we were had been presented with this little piece of art.
A few days ago I showed you the “Donkey, the Parking Lot Attendant”. Here is the guy one more time. He was moving very fast and tried to eat me up, and I was trying get the best picture to no avail. The previous shot actually got his entire face and body, plus had mountains in the background, but for some reason I just like this one a little better, even that he is cropped from his nose up to his ears. You can see his eye, maybe that is, maybe that short connection between him and me is captured in this moment.
Donkey, he is my man.
Deep in the mountains hiking along the river Issik we found this vehicle, or what left of it. There is actually a dirt road that goes along the river, way up high. It had a little fork on it which took you to a cliff, not sure why it is there as there is no where to go. My guess is that the driver was drunk, driving fast after the dark, took a wrong turn and ended up about 50 ft down in the river.
Today’s post has its ride side. I have other angles as well, will process them and post some time in the future.

We had good day exploring around lake Issik in the Tian Shan Mountains. When we came back from the hike we were greeted by the new parking lot attendant – a Donkey. He was very curious about us and tried to get us to pay him, food or what. He was actually much closer than he appears, it was taken with 14mm focal length, him trying to stick his face right into the camera. To see a larger version and examine those facial hair details just click on the image and it will take you to my photo gallery.
At one point he almost grabbed my daughters’ sleeve, she was quick enough to pull it away. Uhh… he was close…
