Olkhon Island is the largest island in Lake Baikal – the deepest lake in the world. When I visited in November as part of my Trans-Siberian journey, I enjoyed sunny skies and mild temperatures on the southern part of the island, but by the time I got to the northernmost point, I found myself in the middle of a snowstorm. Somehow this Soviet-era van navigated through it perfectly.
Whoa! That is so beautiful! And so very, very cold looking! I’ll have to read through your Trans-Sib posts–in the process of planning for the fall.
I really like this shot, love the contrast!
That’s such a great shot, though I do wonder how warm the photographer was when it was taken. I think I’d have wanted to sprint back to the van.
Wow, that’s an incredible image, Katie! That shot is worth being there in a snow storm!
That shot of the van is stunning. Really gets across the feel of the place!
