More Almaty Pictures


Brent and Cameron on the cable car.


One of the views from the top.
Sunset over Almaty.


Zenkov cathedral in Panfilov Park. It is made entirely of wood and not a single nail was used. It was built in 1904 and was used as a museum during the Soviet era. It was returned to the Orthodox church in 1995 and they still hold services here.




There were some serious chess games going on in the park around the cathedral. The older men are here daily playing.



The WWII memorial to the Panfilov heroes.

Another part of the memorial that flanks the large one above.
