Documenting in Bolshie Koty
The Village of Bolshie Koty lies on the banks of Lake Baikal, the deepest and oldest lake in the world. Our itinerary for the Study abroad included a two week trip to this village after spending a few nights in Irkutsk, one of the largest Siberian cities of Russia.
From Irkutsk we took a Hydrofoil to Bolshie Koty where we would spend the next two weeks enjoying nature, and taking 3 hour Russian course, every day pretty much. And so it was a time I could get in touch with nature once again.
It was probably the best time I had the during the whole study abroad. It was the time we all bonded as a group, I also got to take photos freely, and treck the forests.
These photos were taken during a photo-adventure through said village. It was fun and exciting. This is just a few of the neat things I found lying around!
The Village of Bol’shie Koty
These are a selection of photos taken on a two day trip to Lake Baikal in Siberia.
This is the deepest fresh water lake in the world for those who don’t know. It contains more water than all the great lakes in the US and it also the cleanest lake in the world. Many efforts are being made to preserve the lake especially trying to reduce the effects of global warming which harm the unique species living in this Ecosystem.
Sunday Stills: Signs of Fall
I am in a rather huge city at the moment, but my signs of fall as well as winter started on my trip to Большие Коты. Leaves were yellow, no reds yet. But it’s a sign. The snow fall was another story.
I have to say I am glad to be back on track with this. I still don’t have an internet connection at my homestay, but I will be doing my best to post earlier than the weekend, but that means I have to start early on photography. I will apologize for my slacking. Thanks for dropping a line!
