[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The same locale as yesterday, but this time, up high on the headland, looking west in the opposite direction towards more snowcapped peaks. If you follow the horseshoe shaped shoreline, past the stony white beach that looks like sand, you'll spot the same area of low, green marshy swampland, at the mouth of the river, as in yesterdays upload. The fishing village on the plateau is Baikalskoe (Bykalskoe).

Baikal is the world's deepest (1642 metres / 5390 feet), oldest, & biggest freshwater lake, holding more water, than all the North American Great Lakes combined. From Wikipedia:

Max. length 636 km (395 mi)
Max. width 79 km (49 mi)
Surface area 31,722 km2 (12,248 sq mi)
Shore length 2,100 km (1,300 miles)

Nice view Chris - sweeping curve of the bay leading into 'town'... Nice and sharp and the sky looks pretty dramatic...

Hello, Chris -
This is a super impressive landscape from a perfect POV looking down the curved shoreline. The eye follows the shore to the town, trees and snowcapped mountains beyond. Very sharp throughout with perfect exposure. Well done.

  • Great

hi Chris,

Amazing how dark the sea gets . It must be the result of a polarizer filter. Very nice composition and great complement to the other shot.
Well done,
Wellington

Hi Chris,
its excellent presentation of this landscape.very clear and sharp details.good POV and great DOF.The dwelling in the middle distance looks amazing.One thing just for my knowledge the mist is of bluish color is it by choice or actual.a grayish would have been more appealing.Thanks for sharing.

Hi Chris:)
This landscape is very similar to some Canadian Views around Rockies.
Mostly what I like in this picture is just composition - really great balanced and premeditated.
Well done - congrats:)
Tom

Really nice Chris .. lots of depth in this shot. Great perspective from up there. The sweeping curve of the shore just gets one started as you follow it to the village, then to the mountain range behind. Great job.

Good Morning Chris,

A dramatic shot where the view takes us from the heights, into the valley and back towards the mountains! The curve of the lake is the effective, leading line which provides this access.
A like the balance of blues and greens.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)
