Title:
Like in a fairytale
About the Photo:
Kyzylcup, Mangystau desert, Kazakistan Sept. 2025.
A fairytale place among the natural wonders!
A hidden corner of the planet, discovered only six years ago.
Locals have nicknamed it "tiramisu" because it resembles an Italian dessert made of layers.
Here, the multicolored layers are made up of different sediments, dating back to the ancient Tethys ocean and highlighted by the vivid red of iron..
To avoid shadows, the photo was taken just after sunset, we had to spend nights in a tent, enjoing this splendid rocky desert.
