Journey to Altay: Life's Wilderness Framed Through a Car Window

During my self-driving trip to Altay, I was unexpectedly stunned by its beauty When I casually glanced out the car window The vast wilderness and majestic mountains Left me completely awestruck and speechless Layer upon layer of earthen mounds With delicate textures on their surface Like mysterious strokes left by Father Time Filled with stories of ages past I eagerly stopped and rolled down the window No longer concerned about photography techniques The car window became the perfect viewfinder The mounds, caressed by sunlight, radiated golden brilliance Effortlessly capturing desolate yet magnificent wilderness shots of life 📷 Photography equipment: Sony a7m4; Lens: 70-200/2.8 🚘 Travel tips: From S21 A'wu Highway to Beitun, avoid the downtown area of Beitun. After Beitun, there's a road (S244) toward Burqin that leads to Kanas and Hemu. Along the way is Lake Ulungur, where you can see many bird species and colorful Yardang landforms.
