<h3>Hi! This is my first entry for the B&amp;W PHOTO CONTEST .</h3><p></p><p></p>

B&amp;W PHOTO CONTEST was announced <a href="https://steemit.com/bwphotocontest/@daveks/announcing-new-b-and-w-photo-contest">here</a> by <a href="/@daveks">@daveks</a> and sponsored by <a href="/@papa-pepper">@papa-pepper</a>.

I took this shot in Kyrgyzstan mountains 8 years ago. This place is the Ala Archa National Park.

The Ala Archa National Park is an alpine national park in the Tian Shan mountains and located approximately 40 km south of the capital city of Bishkek.  There are more than 20 small and large glaciers and some 50 mountain peaks within the park.([source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ala_Archa_National_Park))

The glacier that is seen in the photo is called Top Karagai.

This place is very beautiful and I'm going to make a separate post about it in future.
