Young pastor, Son-kul lake

Song Köl or Son-kul (literally "following lake) is an alpine lake in northern Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan. It lies at an altitude of 3016 meters. The Kyrgyz have historically been semi-nomadic herders, living in round tents called yurts and tending sheep, horses and yaks. This nomadic tradition continues to function seasonally around the lake, as herding families return to the high mountain pasture in the summer.
