Charyn
Horses grazing in a field on the way to Charyn about 2 hours east of Almaty.
Snow capped mountains that are very similar to the mountains near Almaty.
Symbols like this were used in ancient times to show where water was available
to the roaming people of the time. Even today you
can see people filling up bottles to the rear of the statue.
It is said that Marco Polo came to this one.
This is Charyn, the Kazakhstan Grand Canyon about 60 miles (100 Kilometers) from the border
of China.
If you have ever been to Arizona or South Eastern California, you would
think I bumped my head and started putting pictures of the
USA on the Kazakhstan page.
This is called the crashed UFO formation. Go figure.
