Photographer’s Note
this shot was made in the valley of tahinga river in the barguzin mountain range, on the north east shore of the bajkal lake; there's no people, paths, it's totally remote place...
that picture was scanned from a negative ;-(

I just came across this photo in your gallery. What ever were you doing in Siberia, off the beaten track!?! Also, the pile of stones - we see these all across the Canadian arctic, called "inukshuk" - they are markers used by the indiginous people of our arctic. Are they also part of the culture of the indiginous peoples of Siberia? You have very pleasing composition here, balance between sky, mid-ground and foreground, good angles and a foreground feature.
There is a 'theme' called circumpolar that some of us who get to the polar and peri-polar regions, are busy adding photos to. I think this one would be a welcome addition!
