Baikal

Hi!

I am planning on making a photo expedition on horseback expedition this
summer around Lake
Baikal and into Eastern Siberia. I want to start from Ulan-ude (or
Ulunkhan, Ust-barguzin or Severobaikalsk), and buy some horses there
from Buyriat horsepeople. I usually spend my summers in Mongolia with
local herdsmen, and this year I want to visit the ethnic minorities
around the Lake. Do you by any chance have contacts from people living
in the Buyriat territories? (i dont mean tourist agency). Or anybody,
who speaks a bit of english and could maybe put me on the way to contact
local horse owners.

Worth a try:)

Thanks a lot!

Who said Russians don't smile?

Ulan Ude's claim to fame is having the largest Lenin head in the world. It is very big. The square is dominated by Lenin and people roller blading, skateboarding and BMX biking. I wonder what Lenin would have made of it. ...

Actually, a good example of a good travel experience! :)))

The interaction of Nature and the creative human spirit is the greatest source of inspiration in my work. Composite memories of pine- and cedar-covered hills surrounding the Baikal lake in Siberia, of the stillness of Armenian mountains, of the watery grays, pale blues and pinks of St. Petersburg's magnificent buildings, of the curves of its countless rivers, canals and bridges--all of these find reflection in the forms and colors of my work.
