Active rest in mountains of Kyrgyzstan.

“Again the mountain winds dry us,
Blow the longing out of the soul.
We sell immortal souls
For one revelation of the heights
We are all in a hurry to that turn
Where fire burns for no reason
So lock you Wolf's Gate
And put the keys in the pawnshop."

Yuri Vizbor. "Wolf's Gate". 1961.
