Left or right? The 2 taxis in the fg, are left & right hand drive. Officially, Russia is right hand drive, but there are many Japanese import cars in far eastern Russia, with left hand drive steering. Makes for interesting driving around town, to say the least!

Taken outside the Severobaikalsk Train Station on the Baikal Amur Mainline, or 'BAM'. The stand in the distance, with the blue & yellow roof, is selling omul, a delicious, partly dried fish, from Lake Baikal. About 30 roubles, or $1 US, a fish. Tastes like smoked salmon.

You are 'right' Chris.
It should be forbidden to make left hand driven cars.
Give them one hand and they take your other, haha
Nice daily streeetleve scene.

hi Chris

Very interesting observation about left or right hand drives. Many times, we open the wrong side of the door and even worse, we enter into wrong side of road lane.

Good shot and very nice curve of shadow and parking line on the road.

TFS, bill

sHello Chris

That is very complicated,
where the cars have the steering wheels in the left or in the right, I find that a confusion.
Here all are of the left, we still don't have in great amount the two sides, they are only some.
But picture is beautiful a beautiful light and very strong colors.
the buildings to the deep are beautiful.
Congratulations for the post!
