Finally the s project has almost come to an end. The last days were exhausting - I produced the radio piece about the Aral Sea, its Kazakh part the Small Aral, at least. And yes, again, I travelled to the Kok Aral dam. This picture is from 2010. And I have to admit I like it a lot, because it makes a simple construction spectacular. I hope you like it, too. Ah, and the reportage will air on Wednesday, December 23 at 6 30 pm Berlin time. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #watermanagement #water #aralsea

Kyrgyzstan will elect a new president and vote on a new constitution in a referendum on January 10. I report on the implications of these steps in a feature for German public radio broadcaster @deutschlandfunk - link in bio. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #Bishkek #Kyrgyzstan #urbanshots

Someone asked, if it looked like on Mars around the Aral Sea. No, it doesn't. Where there was once a sea - an inland lake, to be precise - there's desert now. The landscape has dramatically changed, and humans are suffering, from the ecological and economical impacts. But for the land, I suppose, it doesn't make a difference. Nature is adaptive. And I find the desert captivating as I probably have found the sea, if I would have been able to see it back then, 60 years ago. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #Aralsee #aralsea #Kazakhstan

Tasbolat, who worked as a fisherman at the Aral Sea, and who never wanted to leave, despite the ups and downs of this region. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #people #peoplephotography #facesofcentralasia #Kazakhstan #aralsea #aralsee

Sometimes life surprises you in the best way. I took these pictures 14 years apart, the second one in 2006, the first one yesterday.. In 2006 I've been to Aralsk in #Kazakhstan for the first time. I took pictures in a fish sellers' hall at the local bazaar. When I came back yesterday, I had these old pictures with me. One of the women, Pernegul, suddenly burst out "that's me"! She had recognised herself. Pernegul is now 60 years old, and has been working as a fish seller for more than 40 years. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #travelphotography #traveller #facesofcentralasia

On the road. As you can see in my stories I'm on the way to the Aral Sea, on assignment for German public radio broadcaster @deutschlandfunkkultur. During the next days I'll be doing a feature on one of the biggest man-made ecological desasters - the vanishing of the Aral Sea. It was once the fourth biggest lake worldwide, but has vanished because of mismanagement of water resources, intensive agriculture and lack of cooperation between neighbouring countries, that want to use scarce water resources for different reasons. We still have to drive two more days across Kazakhstan after having started in Almaty. Next stop is Kyzylorda, and tomorrow, hopefully, Aralsk.

I've wanted to do this reportage about @bektouriskender and @kloopnews, an outstanding Kyrgyz media outlet and his founder, for quite a while - now, eventually, it happened, in a feature for German public radio broadcaster @deutschlandfunk. You find the link to the full mp3 in my bio. #everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #Kyrgyzstan #Kirgistan #journalism #media #pressfreedom

Driving through the Great Nothing - the Kazakh Steppe in winter. Does that scare you 😱 or do you like it 💕? I'm a huge fan of driving through the steppe. - Have a nice week, everyone. - Ah, and by the way, there's no filter, it's just the toned window glass of the taxi's back seats. 😅 |#everydaycentralasia #silkroad #everydayasia #centralasia #zentralasien #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #travelabout #traveller #ontheroad #Kazakhstan #казахстан #степ #steppe
