Looks like The Last Day of Judgement in the Buddhist culture. Wouldn't fancy to see it with my own eyes though

Saurians
March 4, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ -15 °C
Icecotta army of Olkhon lake chiselled by some (un)known sculptor. Do I see it right that the leader is a sorta reptiloid? Or my eyeballs are frozen to death at -27°C and 15mps?🤔
Ice Grotto
March 4, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ -16 °C
No, I wasn't downed by a saurian leader from the previous pic, it's just an amazing ice grotto on Olkhon😉
Shaman-kah
March 4, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ☀️ -16 °C
Walking to Shamanka from a very unusual direction (for me), for that - unusual black-and-white colors. First thing I always do when I come to Olkhon - visit this sacred place of all shamans of thisRead more
Metamorphoses

When the ice is so clear that it can let the image through (almost) undisturbed😜
Cape Burkhan

Behind those Buryat ritual pillars - sarge - there lays the most beautiful beach on Olkhon, yet it might seem not very obvious at the moment
Snow Queen's Palace
March 5, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -21 °C
Olkhon offers absolutely supermundane scenery - like a fairytale about Snow Queen comes alive right in front of your very eyes. You wanna shout: "Gerda! Kai! Where are you?" But a strong wind at -27°Read more
Icicicle

Those famous insta-ice-slabs...😉 It's really hard to not post such a picture as many others would do😜

Do whatever you fancy as everything is finite
Khoboy Emeralds

The most beautiful emeralds I've ever seen! Well, to be honest, the only emeralds... On Cape Khoboy😉
Not-Panukkale
March 5, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -19 °C
This winter fairytale of Baikal looks quite like Pamukkale yet its dozens degrees colder
Never Say Never
March 5, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -20 °C
10 years ago, when I last visited Baikal, I told myself - I would never come back after having seen such a tremendous impact of humans in this place. Yet, now, I stand the frozen surface of thisRead more

Food is ready, don't get your fingers frozen while eating
Shamanka
March 5, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -17 °C
This place was the first one I visited on Olkhon Island almost two decades ago, and since then it became the spot where I greet Baikal and bid farewell every time. Hello, Shamanka🙏
Red in Blue

This whole world is just our reflection. On ourselves
Ice Hummocks
March 6, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ -5 °C
When temperature changes, the huge ice sheet of Baikal expands and shrinks creating these ice hummocks and producing a bit eerie cracking sounds. At such moment your eyes, ears and your skin make youRead more
Lida

We meet people. We meet new people. We continuously meet new people. Our eyes meet only with a few of them. After our eyes met, only with a few of them we exchange words. After exchanging words, onlyRead more
Anjing

Even dogs might enjoy sunsets reflecting on mirror surface of Baikal
Snow Steppe
March 7, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ⛅ -6 °C
Many times I hiked on Olkhon but this is the first time I am seeing the island under such a delicate blanket of snow. At least it'd be easier to spot wolves trails if any🐺
Beach Time
March 7, 2021 in Russia ⋅ ☁️ -4 °C
White snow, blue ice, no wind, bright sunshine and -20°C - what else would you need for sunbathing? Wanna join, anyone?🤣
