Меандры реки Акалаха (Алтай)

Captured from above, the Akalaha River snakes through the Altai Mountains in a striking display of natural geometry. Its turquoise waters contrast with the earthy tones of the surrounding valley, where autumn hues blend with patches of forest and open steppe. Clouds drift over the peaks, adding depth and drama to the expansive view. This image highlights the serene beauty and geological complexity of Central Asia’s remote wilderness. Photographer Sergey Kozlov masterfully frames the river’s sinuous path as a living ribbon across the land.
