Instagram users were just as inspired. Some, however, lamented that the fleeting nature of spring and the demands of work might prevent them from enjoying it fully.
“The real beauty of spring,” “How beautiful,” “At least I can see it in photos. By the time I get out there, everything will have faded,” and “Such a contrast between the snowy mountains and spring on the ground,” wrote commenters under the post.
Dotsenko told Tengrinews.kz that he took the images about a week ago but decided to publish them only recently.
“The video was filmed a week ago during the apricot blossom in and around Almaty. It features mountains, flowering trees, and cityscapes. It took me three days to shoot, using my Sony camera and a DJI drone,” he said.
He also noted that he doesn’t have a favorite season.
“As a landscape photographer, I appreciate all seasons—each has its own unique beauty. But spring is especially dear to me. It’s a season of renewal, joy, and hope,” he added.
Dmitry Dotsenko is a Kazakhstani photographer known for his work in both landscape and urban photography.
