Around Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is considered a sacred place by most of the local residents. This gallery will be growing throughout 2005, with photos of the lake in every season, so check back soon.

This is a yurt, or ger, as they are called in Buryat, at a tourist resort at Enxaluk.
Domiki (rental cabins) at Kultushnaya. They were closed when the picture was taken in March, because it is too cold to stay in an unheated cabin without indoor plumbing. March is still winter in Siberia.
Taken at the Kultushnaya station in March, 2005. This photo was edited in Photoshop with Nik Efex filters.
