Breath of the Akkol Valley

Artist:

Vladimir Bocharov

Altai Republic, Russia

Notes:

A moderately windy afternoon in the Akkol River Valley calms me.

I’m surrounded by sounds of steppe grass swaying by the wind, grasshoppers, dragonflies, rattle grasshoppers, mosquitoes, flies which sometimes shamelessly trampling on the microphone as well as barely audible murmur of the river and rare screams of black oystercatcher in the distance.
