Kazakhstan

How is it possible to comprehensively illustrate the 9th largest country in the world? Everything is mind boggling. Including the world's largest man made environmental disaster - the loss of the Aral sea. Consigned to a not so slow extinction, along with the towns, villages & people who used to make a living from it, all in the race to produce cotton

Mongolia

christopherjblade@gmail.com (Christopher Blade Design) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:42:39 GMT

Working as a photographer for the British adventure travel company Dragoman (www.dragoman.com) has enabled me to explore countries I have only dreamed of visiting. The most recent being Outer Mongolia. A vast, desolate & beautiful country boasting some of the most inhospitable landscape & hospitable people one could hope to meet. Traveling in a large truck, converted to carry passengers, was the ideal mode of transport enabling us to go pretty much anywhere. But even that did not prevent us getting stuck occasionally! Mongolia as one of the largest countries in the world amazingly only has a few hundred km of tarmac roads - it is vast. A country without roads, fences or limits, home to some of the last truly nomadic people on the earth.

Places visited include: Outer Mongolia; Inner Mongolia; Khovsgol Nuur National Park; The Ice Canyon; Flaming Cliffs; Gers; White Lake; Gobi Desert; Tsetserleg; Shankh Monastery; Erdene Zuu Monastry; Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur National Park; Tsagaannuur Lake & The Great White Lake.

Russia 2008

christopherjblade@gmail.com (Christopher Blade Design) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:01:20 GMT

4 weeks driving through Russia enabled visits to a number of fascinating places including Samara with it's impressive memorials & Stalin’s Bunker; Kazan with it's UNESCO site, churches & Mosque; beautiful Suzdal, the picturesque epitome of an old religious Russian town with 16 churches; Vladimir with it's gorgeous Cathedral; Moscow in all it's glory with a myriad of major & minor tourist attractions including Red Square, St Basil’s Cathedral, Kremlin, Lenin's tomb, etc; Novgorod & finally St Petersburg. A beautiful city founded by Peter the Great & boasting sights such as the Hermitage Art Gallery, which has a collection so large that reputedly if you looked at a work for 1 second 24/7/365 it would take 3 years to see! The Tsar's Summer Palace with its gravity fed fountains is a rare treat.

Contact christopherjblade@gmail if you are interested in photographs from any of these cities. A larger selection is available for commercial use.
