BBC Earth – one of the greatest inventions of all time – has a “Big Earth” series, showcasing our planet’s awesome sights as captured by BBC readers and viewers. I submitted some pics from my recent trip to West Kazakhstan, and two are featured on the website:

Kazakhstan is an amazing place poorly known to most, and there is lots of great stuff to see in both the cities and the vast, open wilderness. You should come out and see it!

Til you make it out here, here are some more shots of the fun stuff I’ve seen here since I got a decent camera a few months ago.
