It is astoundingly beautiful.

I have one particular thing to say.
LANDSCAPE, people!

'Portrait' is for portraits. 'Landscape' is for landscapes.
I know we're talking elevation here, but at least try.
Turn your phone to landscape when you are photographing/recording landscape!

Thank you for listening to my pet peeve.

Of hight and enveloping sides, that felt encompassing with landscaping. And I think the hairpins would have looked less steep?

But I get it.

It absolutely drives me nuts when people take pictures or make videos, and landscape is the clear choice, but there they are, portrait.

especially there!

That place does look amazing. Imagine if it weren't in Tajikistan. It would have a much better chance of being a world-class tourist attraction.
