Rainbow across the Kakshaal Too mountains, Kyrgyzstan Apr 3, 2024

As Kermit the Frog once sang, "Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide." Rainbows occur when sunlight reflects and disperses through raindrops in the atmosphere. In today"s image, we see a rainbow splashed across the majestic Kakshaal Too mountains in Kyrgyzstan. The Kakshaal Too range, with its rugged peaks and pristine valleys, is a fitting backdrop for the fleeting beauty of rainbows. A landlocked country in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The country"s nomadic traditions, such as yurt camps, which are camps that consist of portable tents covered with skin or felt, and handmade textiles like Tush kyiz and Shyrdaks, provide a glimpse into its vibrant cultural tapestry.
