A tree by an isolated mountain stream is covered by prayer cloths. They represent the Kazakh belief that the tree of life connects mother earth and the great spirit. People always choose trees near water - especially moving water - and often in the mountains, for this ritual. Both factors are believed to bring the prayers nearer to god.
