Bundled up, with only a pair of red-painted lips peeking out from between hats, scarves and coats. Good friends? Close relatives? In good company in any case, this pair of apashki (grandmothers in Kazakh) are making good use of the morning’s -15°C weather in Kazakhstan’s largest park, in Karaganda. Whether it’s morning or evening, a walk is a must for the inhabitants of Karaganda, regardless of the whims of the thermometer.
