The Islamic Cemetery near Baitik

This weekend my co-worker Myrza took me into the mountains for an excursion as the weather was perfect (around 27 degrees--80 Fahrenheit).  We stopped at the cemetery near the mountain town of Baitik.  Each region of Kyrgyzstan's cemeteries have very distinctive features, designs, and meanings. I must do much more additional research to explain the importance of cemeteries in Central Asia--and I hope in the future, I will be able to do so.  For now, here are a few images of the cemetery near Baitik.
