(UPDATE : I just added another, earlier and better scan of the same photo : YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER VERSION IN THE WS - I really need to learn more about all those technical matters !Thanks to the ones who have written advice here...)************Need to take a short break from the places I am revisiting in India and Bangladesh : apart of the 24h boat trips in Bangladesh done repeatedly, all the other places seem even more noisy (and hence, very hard for me) with the distance - difficult to express this, I'll try to change the text later.But here I need your help, because I am not satisfied with those lines, which are not on my paper photo. Or is it simply that my small scanning machine is not up to the job ? Many thanks in advance for your advice... Song Kol : a tiny, very high altitude lake (around 3500m - I'll also check the exact altitude later), now a natural reserve ; in the summer, the villagers living below are leaving their houses for the season and bring their herd to graze on the shores, setting up their yurts (it has another name in Kyrgyz, I don't remember).The place is magnificent, I first saw it with friends in Nov. 1996 under the snow when it was hard to remain standing because of the fierce freezing gales - but still, an impressive, very special place -, and returned back with a friend earlier in the year 2002, when we stayed for a couple of days in one of the yurts seen here in the far. Deliciously silent, peaceful splendid ; the few people we encountered there were also extremely friendly.
