[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The small fishing town of Baikalskoe on Lake Baikal. In winter much of the lake is frozen solid & the fishermen cut holes in the ice to catch 'omul' which tastes like salmon. The town also has a licence to catch the freshwater Nerpa Seal. The seal fur is used in making hats & gloves.

Baikal shown differently. Very interesting photograph. Nice colours and the composition.

Nice complex image with lots of things to see. This is probably an entirely different scene during the winter. Well done.

TFS!

Hi Chris,
What a beautiful sea landscape! So different and alive that usual ones! I like particularly, the splendid green/yellow and blue colors. The small boats add a great sense of dimension and space. Very well seen and done! Bravo! Annie

The view impress a lot! I like those blue and green tones! That's really cool to see the line of water, that special texture... even the ice that vegetation near the water seem to be in full shape with all it's chlorophyll :)

While looking at the Great Wall - this picture caught my eye. A very special lake-scape with those tracks - fishing boats and little islands; must be like a swamp there.
Lovely to see - good composition, job well done.
TFS (love to see the world and this is the second best way to do it)

Namaste Chris,

Very nice view of the lake. Good colors and POV. TFS.

Hello Chris,
This is a most amazing inland ocean!
The vastness of the lake is awesome, as is the surrounding landscape...
Some interesting details here, I notice the stumps from trees once occupying the bank!
Greetings,

Very interesting landscape, is the green stuff some kind of turf?
Regards,
Tibi

Hi Chris, a place I have read of and always wished to see (the lake that is). Well composed and lovely detail. I am assuming that the lighter colour is a form of tundra? TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Spring has Sprung’

Chris this is a strage looking lake shore amd the tire tracks dont help matters. The image on the other hand has captures beautiful contrast between water and "land" - nice point of view as well. Cheers

Hi Chris,
this is just perfect... amazing landscape and unbelievable colours. I would love to visit Russia:-) Thanks for inspiration.
Katerina

So unusual to see a view of Siberia at what I guess must be the height of summer.

Your composition gives a good idea of the wide open spaces here, it's a beautiful spot!

a truly dreamland..
