โ€” 24.kgIntroduction to the reader-submitted photo and video feature.

Photographs highlight vibrant sunsets in Bishkek and Kar-Balta, with one contributor, Nikolay Manakovsky, capturing a particularly picturesque scene. Iilya Shipulin shared panoramic views of Bishkek from the Chon-Aryk hills, providing a unique perspective of the capital. Emil Zheenbekov's video from the ZIL ski base offers a different angle on the landscape.

Further afield, Asel Isaeva documented a vivid sunset near Kar-Balta, while Sergey Khanov captured an unusual natural phenomenon: a red moon rising over Issyk-Kul lake. The area around Issyk-Kul, specifically Tamchy village, is depicted as deceptively quiet in July, with the anticipation of an influx of tourists escaping the heat.

Streets are deceptively empty - in a couple of days they will be filled with tourists fleeing the anomalous heat.
