On the way to what remains of the Aral Sea, groups of dromedaries and camels can be seen along the roadside. We are in the middle of the Kazak steppes and few species can survive in this inhospitable environment. The contrast between the beauty of the landscape and its harshness is overwhelming. Aral district, Kazakhstan, 2024
