“Golden autumn in all its glory. Soon the rains will come, and all this beauty will fade.”
“My beloved city — Almaty. It’s magical!”
“The mountain views are breathtaking — especially with these colors!”
Speaking to Tengrinews, Dotsenko said he chose his shooting locations intuitively.
“I walked through parks, alleys, and courtyards, noting places where the yellow leaves looked the most beautiful. This year the colors are exceptional — the weather cooled down without rain or wind, so the golden leaves have stayed bright longer. The whole city is bathed in warm light,” he explained.
Over the weekend, many Almaty residents also shared their own autumn shots on Instagram and Threads. According to Dotsenko, the city’s most scenic spots were crowded with photographers, but that only added to the atmosphere.
“It’s nice to see people noticing the beauty around them,” he added. “There’s always a new angle to find — and if you come early, even the most popular places are peaceful.”
