Awakening the other day after a windy, rainy night, amongst the rocky mountains of Bozzhira as an epically gorgeous thunderstorm ebbs, ever changing above these towering desert peaks in the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan,
With camera support from @anushbabajanyan, I'm publishing the making of this National Geographic story on my #Snapchat account @stanmeyer, sharing short films of the making of this story for Nat Geo.
Be sure to also follow my IG account @JohnStanmeyer for photos from the steppes of Kazakhstan and beyond.
All my best,
John Stanmeyer
